He probably meant that it is unfortunate that Amazon would make such a
mistake.

I saw a similar misunderstanding in a dpReview forum last night.  In a
discussion of a digicam's features someone said "I don't care if it's
got a good lens", and was taken to task that he was particular about
ergonomics but didn't care if it had a good lens.  What he meant was
just the opposite, he didn't care so much about other stuff as long as
it has a good lens.  A well placed comma would have communicated more
clearly and avoided a lot of the resulting bandwidth: "I don't care,
if it's got a good lens", or even better "I don't care, as long as it
has a good lens".
