I think you’ve kinda lost the thread. From the top comment:

> Markdown was designed…

Surely Gruber is an authority on that.

And anyway, “ markdown is a lightweight representation of html” is true enough that calling it “decidedly incorrect” is wrong. Certainly it’s not a point that’s supported by going to author intent.

Yes, I completely agree with that.

And that wasn’t the point I quoted or responded to.

Again, I wasn’t replying to the top comment, I was replying to what I quoted, from the comment I replied to.
