Some people are so stupid

Some people are so stupid it hurts. Is there a simplier, easier to understand, less convoluted type of proof than a proof by contradiction. Yes, aparently there is... proof by, I'm older, wiser, and, most importantly, more mature than you.

Presenting anecdotal evidence of aberrence is not sufficient evidence to prove an argument invalid. Not ever. Not even if someone is arguing that "all young marriages are doomed". Just because your grandparents got married at 16 and were happy together for 80 years until they died does not make the above argument by an older, wiser, and, most importantly, more mature person false.

Your grandparents were not part of the set of all young marriages... either that or their marriage was secretly a disaster and nobody knew... I'm not quite sure which, but even without meeting your grandparents, I know that it was one or the other. After all, I'm older, wiser, and, most importantly, more mature.

Some people are so stupid it just hurts. I might have a hard time respecting people like that if they were not older, wiser, and most importantly more mature than I am.
