You are absolutely correct that I was reacting to the text you quoted.

This was because I was reacting to... the text that you quoted.

The small amount of text you quoted from the linked article was largely in opposition to majority of the article you linked to, which supported my position.

This is like a movie review that's like:

"The director had risen to the task - magnificent!"

When the review stated:

"If the director had made substantial changes, and the actors had risen to the task, perhaps one could say that it could have been magnificent!"
