This thread is a clear indicator that ther are multiple ways to read it. One may seem more valid than others but it's not at all unambiguous.

I'd love to know what the people in 5000 years, if there are any, project onto this. Maybe they'll refer back to this thread and fall into two major camps.

No, what this thread shows is that however clear you express something, there will always be people refusing to understand it.
