*But you're right—I garbled that syntax.*

FWIW, I didn't have any problems parsing it.

For me sentences like that are kind of a "frequency" thing. Like if your mind happens to be in a particular state you might get it right away on the first try, but if things don't really align the sentence can take a turn and leave you behind. One good argument for word economy, something I'm not always good at.
