You literally just italicized "need", and I read it the way you intended it.

That's why tech people italicize stuff.

Please reread my comment. Italicising is, as I said, a nice-to-have. I did not need to italicise need; it's an optional extra in my comment, but I can still communicate effectively without it.

Or, as your reply has highlighted, even with the additional emphasis, people will still fail to read it the way it was intended.
