...George, I accept that given the context this instance is a bit of a straw man - although don't forget that only half the population has average intelligence or above. But there are other examples e.g. those studied in http://www.geocities.com/bible_translation/accuracyot.pdf where a misunderstanding is more possible, e.g.:
I think it rather ludicrous to suppose that anyone of even moderate
intelligence would suppose that "cleanness of teeth" had anything to do
with dental hygiene in context. This is totally a straw man.
