To clarify: I think trying to think of this as the "failure of some
person" is an error. It's a failure of communication.

This was my realisation, too :)

I'm not giving up. Just stepping back to think. Your input helps,
appreciated.

Sometimes it's just difficult to wrap one's head around things.
"Local" variables with different kinds of locality is one of
those, but they are there for a reason. Life in Emacs without
buffer-local variables would be way more difficult.
Imagine the mess a complex mode (like CC mode) would be if you
always had to consult some buffer-bound data structure instead
of having buffer-local variables disguised as "globals".
Imagine the organizational mess minor modes would be.
Now my head hurts :)
