An interesting detail about language that not many people know: the "sense making" involved in language occurs within the mind of the reader, it is not contained within the language itself.

So if something doesn't make sense, it is possible (but not necessarily so) that it is a skills or ideology issue with the reader.

Note also that detecting ideological bias in oneself is a very difficult thing to do, but it seems like the opposite.
