The serious flaw in your analogy being that I would never say
something like that in the first place. It's more as if I said that
Percival Lowell wrote detailed observations of Mars including seasonal
changes in the appearance of parts of its surface and
"canali" (channels), and the former was interpreted as vegetation and
the latter was interpreted as "canals" by readers of his detailed
notes, and someone accused me of stupidity and said that those
observations were made by Galileo just for the sake of insulting me
and disagreeing with me. :P
