No; when reading this I had no idea that you had (apparently) added the modified quote specifically in response to the grandparent, and thus I read the grandparent as an objection to the second version. And the objection stands.

For anyone having trouble following, it is a question as to whether this edit makes things clearer.
To which I would answer (having seen an earlier version): yes, better.
