If someone says "tl;dr", I assume they mean "it was too long; I didn't read it." If you want to provide a summary, then perhaps just call it that. (Although I think your summary mischaracterizes an actual test.)

This would be correct, however 'tl;dr: <summary>' is pretty common for providing a summary.
I assume that's providing the reason they didn't read it. How's about we just say "Here's my summary:".
the way snogglethorpe used "tl;dr" is fine and pretty generally understood. can we stop arguing semantics of an internet acronym? regardless of your admitted assumption, their intent was explained, let's move on now.
