Oh please. If it makes no sense one way, reparse. I had
no trouble at all binding Michael's "myself" into
"many people" and neither did you, unless someone has recently
lobotomized you with a guitar pick.
OTOH, you may have been making a point about strict syntax-based
parsing, in which case I may be in a minority in misperceiving
your post as the worst case of smartassery I've seen this month.
