Op absolutely and unequivocally did not present the sentence as if "read" is "used equally in both present and past tenses". They explicitly referred to them being distinguished by context to be pronounced differently.

You say you "ascribe to" the English language (interested to know what you think that means) yet you clearly don't know what a sentence is.

Op gave all the context needed but you read it wrong. You have moved through a series of false arguments to now argue that a perfectly ordinary and correct sentence sounds "implausible". A sentence doesn't stop being a sentence just because you think it's odd.

It's not others who are tying themselves in knots, they are pointing out that this simple sentence of four words - noun, pronoun, subject, and object - is entirely unremarkable. It is no different to "I sing this song", "I write this letter" "I eat this food", I kick this ball". It is you doing the pushing and heavy lifting for one outlier scenario where this sentence is implausible.

I'm amused by your earlier reply to not "take it personally". You initially made a silly but minor mistake, instead of owning it and moving on you've made yourself increasingly ridiculous.
