@evan tldr i don't think it's healthy to look at these discussions through the lens that people are "intentionally misinterpreting the specs in order to derive ridiculous conclusions", merely "fun thought experiments" intended so that "we can't have a conversation about the actual game", "fight[ing] tooth and nail to keep those loopholes from being closed". that reading is tantamount to bad faith, whereas a good faith reading is that people interpret the spec as best they can in their framework.
