Are edits like this OK?

We all reject edits that change the meaning of posts but I came across this one and it adds meaning to the post that was never given by the OP.

Here is the original post

and here is the edited version

As you can see, nowhere did the OP mention katoolin or kali or anything to indicate that was what they wanted.

I was going to roll it back but I don't want to end up in an edit war with the people who changed it.

To me, this is unclear and should just be closed, to infer meaning on the post is not what edits should be for, it should be 100% on the OP to get there point across and people should not just be adding meaning to unclear posts, whether they may be right or not.

Would I be right to roll this back or have I missed something, somewhere that makes this kind of edit alight?
