Yes, so meaning is never 'exhausted'. But which doesn't imply no meaning at all.

This isn't the practice here, either. Ppl are claiming their interpretation more valid than the speakers & proves their ideological point.

Wasn't intended to pin the reader's interpretation on the author & blame him for it. That's part of the politicisation of these ideas.
