I think the devs understand this to be honest and their is no misunderstanding as the case has been hammered to them for the last few pages, what it does show is:
a. flat out refusal to admit that they may have messed up
b. That they couldnt give less of a shit on what their oh so precious kickstarter backers actually think, if they did this would have been called off already/ removal such a large reward/ postponed to a later date etc.
I think this quote shows this best, that if you have a separate opinion, then you are wrong.
