I'm sorry but that is not the case.
You could not quite understand how the Sword World Confederation could work as described in canon and so proposed a very different sort of Confederation, one with a larger, full time, wholly confederate military. That is not a different 'interpretation' of canonical facts, that is a 'refutation' of canonical facts. The two are very different things.

I certainly did not propose a "larger, full-time, wholly confederate millitary". I proposed that the Confederation would regularly rent or haggle for planetary units from the various states to form a rapid reaction force in peacetime, in a manner similar to what it does in wartime. those are two entirely different concepts. What I refered to as the "grossfyrd" was the sum of these contributions.
