It occurs to me that there are those who, when presented with an absurdity, cannot remain polite but have to try to convey how stupid what is being proposed really is. Then, again, there are those who automatically decide anyone who disagrees with them is obnoxious and insulting.
A lot of people have never learned the old axiom that if one knows little about a subject, it is better to remain silent and learn rather than bray out poorly informed prejudices. The most one should do when it is something out of one's depth is ask questions -- questions, no matter how dumb, are generally received while stupid assertions just irritate and bring out the worst in people.
