Well said
However, this does not fit the narrative so your particular interpretation will be ignored.
We are now getting the new spin on the narrative where "most Leavers want a No Deal". Patently untrue but this will be repeated and repeated. The lesson learned from 2016 is that if you repeat an untruth often enough, it becomes "true" and people get tricked into accepting it as a "fact".
