There are times that I have. I actually do it to pick your brain, its always nice to get another perspective. There have been times where I have read an article and found I got the opposite perspective of what you talked about.

Everybody brings a different preconception to the reading of any article. We are individuals, not yet molded into the precise thought forms that THEY want for us.

Everything is like that. We are all individuals. With the exception of NPCs we all have a different point of view and thinking style.

Keep in mind that I don't necessarily agree with the author, so I might respond to the passage you highlight differently than the author would.

Its fine, discussing is what is important. Not arguing who is right or wrong.

The arguing about who is right or wrong is the only way to bring the dark into the light.

Keeping the readers guessing and trying to figure it out by comparing the article to what you are saying is a good exercise in critical thinking.
