There are instances where I'd agree with her - for example, smart people often do stupid things by mistake like pull on push doors or forget to carry the one in addition. However, in this instance we were discussing my well-thought out reasoning as to why I don't throw out all my Teflon. I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Therefore the things I say and do are deliberate, and insulting what I say/do is an insult to the thought process that got me there, and therefore to me.

It was also doubly insulting to me because she said that my attempt to bring in statistics was "bullshit to justify my carelessness." Um, no, it's an attempt to apply an objective viewpoint to the situation. Insulting and ignorant.
