Funny enough I just saw this comment in the recent comments section without reading any of the context. I took your comment to imply exactly the sort of distinction Emily explained. I figured that you were replying to to a comment which you managed to decipher despite it being from objectively confusing (equivocating, poor word choice, grammatically wrong etc.)
I tried to think of situations where this apparent rule does not apply.
While this doesn’t include me, I do find it inclusive.
While this doesn’t coerce me, I do find it coercive.
While this doesn’t illustrate me, I do find it illustrative.
While this doesn’t detect me, I do find it detective?
While this doesn’t confuse me, I do find it confusing.
While I don’t find this amusing, it does amuse me. ;-)

The fact that this sounds so ridiculous is the reason I suggest that my labels for the two reactions might be bad ones. :)
