Yes, you are inferring incorrectly. How would I know it? Because I wrote it and I know what I meant.
I put it in that order as a matter of stressing the priority of difference between boot camp and Parallels. The first priority in the difference for user experience is that one must reboot. So I put that first. The secondary priority to that difference is to use boot camp. It's less significant because, as you pointed it, it only needs to be done once. Rebooting is required each time the user wants to go from Mac to Windows, so the difference in user experience is greater.
Had I said "reboot and then use bootcamp" you'd have me on semantics as I would be structuring the sentence chronologically. As I've noted, the sentence was intentionally not structured chronologically.
Alas, you were the first to resort to a personal attack so by rules of the internet, I win
BTW, Windows can't run on EFI. http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.
