English term or phrase: quite the reverse of what was intended
Доброго времени суток.

Many corporate managements and a lot of security analysts have reacted with much fuming and even more fumbling to the Texas Gulf Sulphur decision and the SEC’s actions against trading on inside information.

I don’t know why everyone is in such a hot sweat over these two things. The one had been illegal—and damned well prop - erly so—for over 30 years. . . . The initial reaction of some managements that these actions meant they could no longer talk to any publications or analysts was— is—asinine. Such sour silliness is ***quite the reverse of what was intended**.

Имеется в виду, что от них другая реакция ожидалась или они (кто так отреагировал) ожидали, что их реакция произведет другое впечатление?

Спасибо.
