Well he explains both what he meant by "marriage blackout nights" and he also says he knew it was an awkward translation that needed editing. So I submit that you may not have read this carefully enough.

I do not dispute that. But with a clickbait headline and a long meandering path to the point I don't feel bad about skimming.

I think if you're skimming longform and then criticizing it you'd be better off just not reading it at all.

edit: okay that was a bit harsher than it needed to be, for internet points. Uh, just maybe don't criticize it without a closer read.

The irony of this is delicious. You presume that the author had a "point" aside from the story that you mistook for a "long meandering path." One might wonder why an author would even care about reaching such an audience. Irony being that the author talked about exactly that cultural divide, but I'm guessing you missed that too.
