A prime example of putting the human super-powers of misinterpretation to good use:

"but you just complained that people on the internet are not giving you enough credit."

not enough credit for subtlety.

That's a difference that's not subtle.

And he didn't complain. It was a neutral statement.

I think I understood what he said; I think I understood his brain state. I think you didn't; I think you made an unsubtle, additive interpretation of it instead of seeing it as it is.
