Yes -- one can read it like a sophist. So what?
The text was about criteria for *registrants*, not *names*, and said
"organizations that didn't fit" -- ie, didn't meet the criteria. It was
not about "names that didn't fit". You (and Froomkin) can mince words
all day, but the meaning is quite clear, and you know it.
