That’s the interpretation that you were taught. It may be the interpretation that the USSC would agree with.

It doesn’t say what you pretend it says.

The clear theme and intent of the clause is to separate the two concepts. That's why people keep asking for those trying to link them to find the language doing so.

Let’s be honest. You only have that opinion because you were told to. You aren’t interpreting this on your own.
