    The denial of the patient’s assumption indicated by the word “no” should have steered you towards the proper/intended interpretation.

      I swear, some people have failed so hard to raise their children that “no” remains a foreign concept in to adulthood… It’s so utterly insane. (no I don’t assume that over autism/etc usually but in this context?)

          No, you didn’t. “No” meant, “no, your presumptive train of thought was incorrect.” The rest of the text should’ve clued you in as to what was meant so long as you properly exclude what was assumed before the “no”.

          If this is still difficult for you, there are many resources out there to improve reading comprehension.

          'I’m sure you hear this kind of thing all the time" … “NO, …”
