I don't think people choose to be more negative than normal people. There must be some biological factor. My objection is just about the articulation.

So why don't you write your own book with the correct "articulation".
When you read anything what you are reading is the author trying to get across THEIR ideas , thoughts , perceptions , facts , non-facts etc....
It's easy to take things out of context or twist words around .
If you quit dissecting every sentence written you might just get to understand
what is being said , taking the complete context of the whole book into consideration.
I think complicating the issue , the way you do , is part of "your problem".
Speaking for myself , "overthinking" something , can cause me as much problems as the "ignorance" I had about that problem to begin with.
Did I say that right ?
