> Or do you mean we shouldn't be allowed to call out people we notice are clueless?
That’s exactly what it means. You’ll note I’ve been very polite to you in the rest of the thread despite your not having made citations for any of your claims; this takes deliberate effort, because the alternative is that the forum devolves to comments that amount to: “Nuh-uh, you’re stupid,” which isn’t of much interest to anyone.
>“Nuh-uh, you’re stupid,”
You're acting in bad faith now, by trying to draw a parallel on how calling someone clueless (meaning lacking in certain knowledge on the topic) is the same as calling someone stupid which is a blatant insult I did not use.
> meaning lacking in certain knowledge on the topic
Clueless has a pejorative connotation. I am struggling to imagine how anyone would read a comment like:
> because most people are as clueless as you about the reality of how things work
and not interpret it to be pejorative.
