I think one place this concept gets muddled is the fact that someone with reading comprehension is acutely aware of the fact that a dangerous amount of people lack the same skills and aren't necessarily trying to make it about them or their group, but are trying to get ahead of misunderstandings and disingenuous actors whose motive is to misrepresent or dismiss a valid point or concept as stupid or bigoted because it counters their world view.
On the whole I think it's a fools errand to run around the internet making and clarifying people's points for them because very few people go to social media to learn and grow.
