I, as others, didn't get it at first. But we're not dunces. The burden is on the writer to be clear. The technique he uses is good--draw readers in by saying the opposite in the headline of what he really believes But he doesn't execute properly. He does start to reverse what he says in the title in the proper place--the third paragraph--but he does so indirectly. Professional writers know people skim. And they know the most avid and knowledgable readers skim the most and the fastest. All it takes is a simple declarative sentence in the third of fourth paragraph to yank them to the real point of an essay. This writer didn't do it as we can see from the comments.

If you still think the author is AGAINST Sarah’s position, you did NOT read far enough. Trust me on that and finish the article.

you read “enough?” Go back to “See Spot run.”
guess this is above your pay grade.
