Yet, sometimes we often assume we have been as clear as possible in explaining a matter, but perhaps we were not. Or, regardless of how clearly we communicated, it can still be misunderstood, and so, unintentionally misrepresented by the one who didn't understand. That happens here and elsewhere a lot, more than we realize, sometimes.
Why shoot a man down and try to get him banned when you can't prove malicious intent? Even someone claiming to understand a point of discussion or doctrine doesn't make it so. It's just a claim, as much as saying someone is intentionally lying and misrepresenting the beliefs of others, regardless of the number of clarifications.
