...but your top post didn't ask any questions; certainly not ones that would justify a detailed answer.

It was several assertions, plus your admission of confusion. I mean, there are no stupid questions, but there wasn't even a question there, so I don't blame anyone for thinking you're communicating poorly.

I wasn't accused of communicating poorly. I was accused of lying about reading a text file and having some kind of ulterior motive for my own opinions.

Furthermore, advanced readers are generally able to infer from "I am not sure why x" that a similar flow of discussion might be as feasible as if it were phrased "why x?".

As though that were necessary. There's plenty of room in this comment box for questions better fleshed out than "why x?". Are you expecting advanced readers, or clairvoyant ones?
