That said, maybe I'm a minority in the English speaking community, because I had no problems coming to the same conclusion as you did with only the English "translation".

But, I don't really care about how other languages interpret it and honestly, if someone has a different take on a single line, I just don't care enough to be bothered. The story is the same. (all imo of course)
I also must be in that small minority as I picked up on most of the things others have said they didn't until later in the story or after looking at how it's stated in a different language. For example a lot have said they didn't pick up on how the WoL must have been someone Emet knew or was close to until that 2nd talk with fake Hythlodaeus. Course maybe I just watched or read enough stuff where such subtle hints come off as someone whacking me upside the head with a brick. Or it comes from me struggling with bosses too many times in Ocarina of Time where anything that could be equated to Navi's "Hey!Listen!" point out that my brain automatically goes ohhh yeah.....
