It is an elaboration of the previous sentence. It's still part of the same wish.
I disagree for the reason stated above.
A genie may also disagree for the reasons stated above.
But a genie doesn't have the power to disagree. They can try all sorts of mischief when fulfilling a wish, but they're still bound to fulfil a wish to the letter.
The genie has the power to disagree about granting extra wishes.
The genie isn't bound to be honest.
Why do you think that's the only thing they can disagree on? And why do you think they'd be honest that they have to fulfill the wish to the letter? And why do you think they'd consider that all a single wish? And why do you think that they'd tell you if they didn't?
Genies want to grant wishes that undermine the wishes intention. You don't think they'd do that on a wish about not undermining the wish's intention?
