This is pure rhetorical cuteness. "I didn't say 'Don't do that.', I said

You used oblique language to communicate the same message you're now
claiming you didn't send.

Without knowing the facts or asking questions to establish the facts (which
would be all David's hypothetical Office-aware, house-calling computer store
clerk could do), you assumed illicit intent.
