I refer you to my answermy answer to a previous Meta question of yours, where I wrote

In the specific question at hand, for instance, [the examiners] ask what inferences you can draw from what the author has written. These are not matters of linguistic analysis but of logical and rhetorical analysis. They are not suited to this site.

The same is true of this question: you do not ask us what the language means or how it means it, but what legitimate inferences can be drawn from the meaning expressed. We do not hold ourselves out here as experts on logic and rhetoric; consequently, what you ask us for is non-linguistic opinon.

The question was properly closed.
