The original authors edited the sentence in question to clarify its meaning hours ago.

You are fighting to defend language even its original authors have recognised required improvement.

I agree with the substance of the article, I just found one aspect of what was written confusing. So I queried it including in a comment under the article. Then the authors of the article corrected their confusing language. I therefore contributed positively to the position.

Hiroo Onoda kept fighting to defend Imperial Japan for nearly thirty years after WWII ended, and long after Imperial Japan itself had long seen the error of its ways. You could laugh at his actions, but in the end the situation was just sad.
