      Usually. But if the premise is particularly stupid I might choose to prompt the speaker to actually think about what they’ve said for a moment.

      Or you could just read any of the numerous other comments here which offer other explanations.

        Edit: i have now read the rest of the thread. nobody seems to agree and i see no sources.

          You’re looking for a source for the answer to a question so idiotic that it has probably never been asked before in the history of man?

          You can’t be a real person.
