Same thing happens for me. I get a lot of "oh well what I think they meant was..." or "what they really mean is..." People are very quick to defend the book/movie as if they understand what the author or editor was trying to get at better than the author or editor themselves.
But this is a merely a fad that will die away just as fast as it came along.
