It's irrelevant as it's only reflective of part of the post we're discussing here. You just chose to analyze (and declare wrong) one sentence in isolation.
But it's really pointless to debate this point any further. If we're lucky, the author of those words will clarify her/his meaning, and if not, oh well...
(NB: I don't necessarily agree with
