Once A Fool
Well, since we're quoting scripture, what the rule actually says is:
Note that it does not say that a character sleeps or performs light activity for no more than 2 hours. Rather, it says a character sleeps or performs light activity, then a colon indicates that what follows is a description of what forms that might take, those being reading, talking, eating, or no more than 2 hours of standing watch.
That said, we seem to be going around in circles and I really don't know why it seems to be so important for you to prove my equally valid viewpoint wrong. I feel, however, that I have nothing more substantial to add to my position and, frankly, don't care that much, anyway.
Since, unlike 5e characters, I actually must sleep, will you be appeased if I tell you that you win the internet and take my leave of this circular conversation?
A long rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 8 hours long, during which a character sleeps or performs light activity: reading, talking, eating, or standing watch for no more than 2 hours.
