From my perspective, I just answered your question as clearly as I could and explained my thinking. Perhaps I could have used more “I” phrasing, but I still think that you’re kind of “apologizing” while shifting blame.

Would you have preferred that I use a term besides “obscurantist” because it sounds too accusatory? I don’t really know what else to describe it as except “mystifying,” which I think wouldn’t really be an improvement. Do you have any ideas?
