Because she knew hacks in the MSM and on forums would take the bait.

Oh. So she actually INTENDED for "enjoy" to mean one thing, but knew it would be interpreted to mean something else?

So, you admit she was being disingenuous. You should have said so in the first place.

She knows, as do I and most people, that words can be taken out of context and applied the wrong definition. Without context there is ambiguity. With context, the people that attribute the wrong definition out themselves -- expose themselves. 

AC may have known that a sentence and even single word would be taken out of context. It's happened in the past so why would it not happen again. Professional writers know that full well. The best writers use that to their advantage. AC certainly did. She wasn't being disingenuous, IMO. She just knows the audience and some people's penchant to spin, deceive and lie. And she used that to her advantage. It's very powerful knowledge to have and especially utilize.
