Let me rephrase these last bits between brackets, because it looks like some people understood this as accusations, which isn't the case. So, the (politically) correct wording would be: "I believe Scott and Pitor misunderstood the intial proposal, and extrapolated it to the point that they thought things that were not in the initial proposal were there."
