Augustine is the most-interpreted of all the Church fathers

Maybe in the West. In the East, he is a minor saint, quite obscure.

Be pedantic if you must. The context is clear. And one could argue that a hell of a lot more ink was spilled theologically in the West over the centuries simply because the Christian West expanded so widely while Christian East struggled to survive under Islam.

Is it really necessary for Easterners not to let anything go past without getting in a dig at the West and at Augustine? It’s tiresome.
