“Deliberate misinterpretation”-? “Colored by his treatment”-? such an interesting choice of words. You’re very good at this euphemism dance.

Bravo.

So if I “discover” a house down the street I’ve never seen before, I “achieved” the title of “discoverer” as well! Ok so I guess he did “accomplish” something, I stand corrected.:

He “discovered” the place that was not called Hispaniola by any of the people that called it home.

He “discovered” the gold that those people were literally wearing at their home. I guess that means he can keep that too?

He “discovered” that he could force those at gun point to bring him all the gold they could find from their home.

He “discovered” that he could coerce the people into doing that by beheading the leaders of their home.

He “discovered” he and his crew could rape the women they found in their home.

Such an interesting choice of words you were taught to describe home invasion, rape, murder, robbery.
