But talking to large, mixed audiences is an extremely difficult skill, fraught with perils. It's a shame, but different people can hear very different things in the same words...
But I do think that some burden falls on the communicator to be more than just precise, for example, anticipating misinterpretations and correcting them proactively, if those misinterpretations can be reasonably predicted. They often can be.

I see it not so much as "a requirement" (or not) but an incentive: if you really want to reach a large audience without being misinterpreted, you may have to work very hard, rather than just stating precise facts eloquently.

That seems a hopeless task in the twitter age. Provision of nuanced arguments and context doesn't seem to be effective for the kind of audience who are likely to propagate misinterpretations. And it's an unfair burden to force people to censor themselves just in case.
