You keep saying that despite it being explained many times that you are misinterpreting their use of the word "conservative".

Rubbish. The "or" was there to emphasis that by "conservative" they meant "worst case" Dropping the "or" makes it sound like there were several options for the "worst case" scenario of which they chose the most conservative ones (then using the opposite sense of "conservative" to that which they originally meant.). Clearly they were misquoted in a way that could cause one to misinterpret what they originally meant, and you are one such. So clearly they were right to point this out in their response.
There's no point even thinking about anything else you claim when you continue to defend such an obvious and trivial twisting of their words to suit your claims.
