Pretty much all actual examples in article are of the "you interpret it wrong" sort.
> A situation you may have misinterpreted as a child can taint your important adult relationships, Kennedy says.
This does not say you should free yourself of hate despite them being wrong. This says, hey, maybe it happened differently. What if I did not misinterpreted it as a child? Or as an adult? What if it is one of those very real situations where you was not stupid, but someone really harassed you, took credit for your work, whatever.
The article does not deal with such situation, rather, it wants you to convince yourself it did not happened.
