Not having read the story, I can't comment on the various pov's. However, I can comment on the readers themselves. Every single thing I write, every single comment I make, every single opinion I state (even this one, probably) receives completely opposing reactions. Most recently, it even happened when simply sharing a new book cover. I take this as a given. HOWEVER, if I find that readers have missed the entire point of my piece, if they are confused by what I wrote, I take responsibility for that. Then I do go back and see where I could have provided greater clarity or been more succinct. I don't think any writer should ever be confused by the writing, even though their viewpoints may be totally opposite.
