If I understand you correctly, you classify the original post as a "dumb
idea" because it could easily be misinterpreted. It seems the only one
who actually misinterpreted it were you, so apparently one reader who
misinterprets a post is enough for your classification as "dumb idea".

Now given that apparently at least one reader misinterpreted your post
(as evidenced by the necessity of follow-up clarifications), how would
it be classified in your scheme of post classifications? A "dumb idea"?
Or are there other, overriding criteria?
