I initially interpreted Mitchell’s as mocking as well, but on a second...third read I interpreted it as:
A reference to a common text book theme “An exercise for the reader” combined with the title of this post. Meant as a funny-joke-but-would-also-be-really-cool-if-someone-actually-did-it. This is just speculation though!! (Is this 100% correct Mitchell?)
I greatly appreciate you standing up for me though!!
If my speculation is correct, then I think the reason both you and I originally interpreted it as mockery would be the “those who are a little more advanced” part (meant as hyperbole) and the “*actually*” part.
