It's not that bad. What you see is a scale where
1=noncommercial and
100=commercial, and creators rated the case you mention 59.2 on that
scale, users 71.7 -- so creators see that case as less commercial than
users, which is ideal if fewer disputes are a good outcome (and as far
as I know there aren't many).
You are entirely correct, and I seem to have thoroughly misread that section!
Of course one of the ways disputes are avoided is that
users just
avoid NC licensed content, as Wikimedia projects do. Kudos.
Yeah. Not the most desired outcome for the creator, though.
One of the benefits of CC is to encourage worry-free distribution by
helping creators be entirely up-front about what they're happy to have
happen with their material, but this sort of ambiguity seems to bring
us full circle.
