    No, I’m reading the words that they said and parsed them

    yes, its your lack of comprehension about what you parsed that is the problem… the fact you can’t see that the information you’re asserting isnt actually in the text is literally my point. aka: your reading comprehension problem.

    you’re the one insisting that the alternative parsing is incorrect while simultaneously admitting that the information you’re claiming as part of the text was ‘inferred’.

    hint: inferences are not the same as facts. both random selection from the population and selecting 1 worm farmer and 9 randoms are valid inferences of the sentence.

    I never claimed you had an incorrect understanding of the sentence. only that it isnt the only possible meaning of the sentence.

    now move on.
