Or this is an attempt at even more critical thinking, i.e. "These are fine concepts, but if you don't reckon with the context of what you're talking about before throwing one of these out because it kinda fits you actually bring conversations down and keep people from exchanging more pertinent ideas and information."

They probably could have communicated that better if that was their intent, but that'd probably kill any humor potential which was probably more of a priority here.
