Update2: I meant it was funny everyone answered question backwards... sheesh.
I hope you took that as valuable feedback about how you asked the question.

Someone once told me that the meaning of any message is the effect it has on the recipient, regardless of the intent that the sender gave it originally. So, if everyone interpreted it as a comment on the left side of the equals, that was your message, and you shouldn't have been surprised at the result.

Now, if that wasn't the message you intended, perhaps you could have been clearer in framing the question.
