When a normal person talks about a topic, they don’t have to continuously clarify that they still talk about the same topic, it’s assumed.

It's a new statement in a new paragraph.

Oh, now we interpret according to the intent of the author?

Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

It's a new statement in a new paragraph

What is a new statement in a new paragraph? You didn't reference anything specific in your paragraph, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

Accept what? Move on from what? You're making no sense.
