It was my confusion - your wording was clear enough. I'm not sure how I
managed to misread it that way. I remember looking for, and not finding,
the word 'valid' in the preceding text, so I must not have been fully
awake when I performed that search. Therefore, I keyed in on the only
use of 'already' that I could find (another indication that I wasn't
fully awake).
