It was meant as "if _one_ insists on that kind of organization" (rather than
_you_) and referred to you trying to give a version matching the original
spirit which constituted the frame of reference or insistence.

Basically, I saw you as trying to accommodate an assumed insistence rather
than being insistant yourself.  I just don't think that this manner of
writing warrants accommodation: there just are too many cases where it will
get strained to the point of falling apart.
