It was meant as "if _one_ insists on that kind of organization" (rather
than _you_) and referred to you trying to give a version matching the
original spirit which constituted the frame of reference or insistence.

Basically, I saw you as trying to accommodate an assumed insistence
rather than being insistant yourself.  I just don't think that this
manner of writing warrants accommodation: there just are too many cases
where it will get strained to the point of falling apart.
