re: #552 reine.de.tout

Well, I think you are correct, and WUB has already clarified it, and thus I did take it wrong.

But that particular phrasing - I’ve heard it and heard it and heard it from so many who intend it to mean “how can you be so stupid as to think … “, that my reaction to it is sort of programmed.

I thought that was the case.

I’ve said things like that more times than I can count and had some interesting reactions so I’m well aware how the intended meaning can be overshadowed by other, less personable, meanings.

Even my wife has just about killed me over things like that.
