I wasn't worried about being misquoted. What did concern me slightly was the possibility that my conclusions might be given without the reasoning behind them, making them appear more speculative than they are..
Several hours after posting this, I realized it made me sound as if I thought that anyone seeing my reasoning would be convinced by it, which wasn't what I had meant at all. What I had really been afraid of was that my ideas would come off as being wild speculations with no basis in the text; but I hadn't wanted to suggest that Mr. Broderick would treat me in such a way. I really should learn to wait before posting.
