I read it another few times, and still looks the same to me.

"The way I see it is that people who designed and wrote the standard
offer their view and interpretation of of they wrote and some people
are determined to offer a different interpretation so that they can
claim they are well-founded to apply  their transformations."


IE there are those whose opinion is right because "they wrote the
standard" (even though they don't actually speak for the standards
committee as individuals), and everyone else is just trying to get
around what they say.
