No, I think you're right; I'm not very well-versed in the Jack the Ripper murders, and I'd honestly never cared to be, so it's more that I'd never given it much thought and the nature of the murders as what they were hadn't sunk in very much until your rant the other day. (I've been giving it some thought, off and on, ever since.)
As I was saying, I'd always interpreted it that way - but now I'm reconsidering, based on what you've had to say, whether or not that interpretation can be justified, and I think the answer is that it can't.
(P.S. While I'm thinking about it, don't read Hiromu Arakawa's SHANGHAI YOUMA KIKAI, ever, if you've not read it yet; Jack the Ripper's one of the main characters.)
