Other people do and you should be able to acknowledge that reality. No one is arguing that your interpretation is absolutely incorrect the way you are arguing that the interpretations supported by existing content is absolutely completely made up.

Assuming you're referring to the wine scene debacle, the problem with saying it's open to interpretation is that it was only open to interpretation until it played out.

If someone says they're going to punch you, you can interpret this in different ways. The most logical is of course to assume that they indeed mean to punch you. But if you wish to interpret it differently, and assume they mean something else, that's fine. Depending on context, that can be a logical thing to do.

However, if they then proceed to punch you, it is no longer open to interpretation. It happened. Claiming anything otherwise is choosing to be ignorant of the fact that it happened.

With the above said, I don't think he's out of line. The word misinterpretation exists for a reason.
