I've always got to invert the double negatives to parse crap like this:
Not exactly the same meaning, but it gets you on the right side of the negatives.
Yup, that's what I meant, but like you said, it doesn't carry the exact same meaning if I wrote it like that
Best way to address this is to reword a bit:
Using "not" twice in a single sentence is generally something worth avoiding IMO.
I understood the meaning. I was clarifying the point OP was trying to make because I 100% disagree with it as worded.
