That's a little more clear, thanks. "The reader" is a complex concept, as you imply. And you're not wrong that I'm struggling with it. Glenn Greenwald often discusses the tense relation between honest expression of unpopular positions and the "audience capture" of the writer that militates against it. His "audience capture" sounds much like your
"accommodate them."
As far as the rest, you win some readers, you lose others. Cups of tea and all that.
