I realized it was a joke. I also took you seriously.

I see you've missed my point. A more correct example would be:

"I think this is a perfect case for multiple inheritance."
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Multiple inheritance is the
spawn of the devil. Have you considered..."

Or a real world experience:

While upgrading to a more recent version of a vendors product, I
commented to the effect that "Your product is a piece of trash. If I'd
had any say we wouldn't have bought it."

The vendor rep could have responded by being offended and avoiding
working with me. He could have asked what needed to be improved. Sadly,
he more or less agreed and gave me the eternal marketing promise that
the next version would be better.
