Re: PSA: You're smarter than that
FTR, Zipmeister, "You're smarter than that!" is not the phrase over which you want to take umbrage. Penumbrage, at most.
The truly offensive phrase is "I thought you were smarter than that!" With the clear implied continuation of "but I was mistaken!"
There are a few posteurs** on this board who I would never admonish with a phrase like "You're smarter than that" unless the antecedent of "that" happened to be some DNA/CHON-based live form on the intellectual level of pond scum. And even then doubts might well remain.
** An inspired portmanteau, or perhaps mondegreen, of "poster" and "poseur."...If yinz ain't vaxxed & boosted by now, ain't nuffin' I say gonna change yer mind. Just don't drop dead on my lawn.
