<i>...as almost nobody cares about absolutist interpretations.</i><p>I apologize for what must be a failure in my writing, but that's exactly what I'm trying to convey.  In my comment I tried to show how silly the logical conclusions of absolute interpretations look.  I tried to avoid saying anything about the political side of the issue.  You'll note though that as of this writing an absolutist interpretation is still the highest voted comment for this article.
