There seems to be a common thing where statements about a class of people D, will associate person B with class D by re-centering the category of D towards including B, even if it’s obvious that the original statement doesn’t refer to B. This seems like the kind of a case where that effect could plausibly apply (here, in case it’s not clear, B is a reasonable critic and D is the class of unreasonable critics).
