    yeah, it doesn’t, though. otherwise it would be asked. people making that assumption are dumb.

      This is what I am telling you. You are the person missing a generally agreed upon thing. That is not a judgement on your intelligence mind you.

      People usually do not need these kind of pointers, so they are left out. People always shorten things they assume to be implied.

      It is entirely fine to miss these things and some people do. Being surprised that people misinterpret your comments regularly should give you pause.

        I see your point. and I still disagree.

        just because many people are stupid, doesn’t mean it’s right. there’s also no way to know the ratio, and my experience indicates that most people agree with my perspective.

          Your experience according to yourself is such that people down vote you because they do not see it like you do. How does that influence your experience? Are you just throwing away all indicators that you might be wrong?

          I do not think you are dumb but I think your view on other people is clouded by the need to be right. I suffer of this as well but calling people dumb and never reflecting is not the way even if the alternative is hard.
