Yes, you are right about what I intended. And upon reflection, you are also right that the post as written isn't saying what I meant.

The point is that J.G. Ballard "state[d] unequivocally that he IS a science fiction writer and proud of it." What is Mike Moorcock supposed to be pleading guilty to?
