That makes the plausibility of projecting even more curious.

Also [that and the blog post posted 2 weeks before I said the thing] does not explain, nor refute, only further lending to my suspicions, like maybe something got misunderstood about some/all of what I said in:

Or, vote for something other than going to the bad place?

Someone offers you two pills, you don’t have to take either. You can make your own, and seek other options.

to make it mean

I don’t care, I have absolutely no preference

that you’ve twice reasserted

So yes, you did say “I don’t care, I have absolutely no preference”.

you’re saying you don’t have a preference

means I’m saying I don’t have a preference, without yet having demonstrated why… which is delightfully ironic from how that blog post starts…

Wernicke’s Aphasia (pronounced ver-nick-ees) is a neurological disorder involving damage to the part of the brain that comprehends the meanings of words. Patients with Wernicke’s Aphasia communicate with perfect rhythm, pronunciation, and fluency, except that words in their speech don’t mean what the patient thinks they mean. If you haven’t heard of it before, you should absolutely look up a video of a person with this disorder talking, it’s very interesting.

I bring up Wernicke’s Aphasia in the context of voting because I’m trying to come up with a good metaphor for what I mean, here. This idea of a person who miscommunicates in a way that is invisible to themself, but which utterly garbles their meaning. Maybe a better metaphor is those white people who get Chinese tattoos that don’t mean what they think they mean, but I can’t think of a quippy way to reference that. But the idea of losing something in translation is very much what I’d like to talk to you about today.

and from my suspicions from

Well, there’s this thing called voting literacy, and the thing is, if your voting literacy is poor, you can say things you don’t intend to say. So yes, you did say “I don’t care, I have absolutely no preference”. And it’s your responsibility to learn enough mathematics to be able to say what you mean. I’m not gonna treat you like a baby and find the intended meaning in what you say, you have to grow up and say what you mean.

and the context of no explanation offered to hold to account.

But I remain hopeful a clear simple (not time wasting) explanation can be given for such a simple thing that can be explained, rather than condescending self aggrandising hot air red-herring wild goose chase.

How is

interpreted as saying

I don’t care, I have absolutely no preference

?

… Frankly a question made all the more needed to be re-asked since the blog post’s broadly making the same point I’m making with that statement, my comment in question is not falling foul of it, and certainly not saying "I don’t care, I have absolutely no preference”; all the more looking like it was not understood, and the reluctance to offer coherent illustration of how that’s been interpreted so, further lends to the suspicion of psychologically projecting, and succumbing to the psychology and philosophical communication fail mentioned in the piece about “voting aphasia” in that projection.
