it has nothing to do with being dumb. people can be extremely dumb and still be friendly. this is just behavior that's looking for a fight.
Being friendly and making illogical assumptions about statements are largely unrelated things.
Taking someone in good faith does not imply words and especially phrasing will be correctly interpreted.
One could argue that dumb implies lower taste. A smarty seeks conversation, a dummy seeks fights. Consider popular videogames.
i think what you call "dumb" is what i call "angry". people today are hella angry, yeah. which i guess is a particular thing of modern times and used to be different in the medieval ages, say. anger is not the normal state of humans in general. people nowadays are angry about a lot of things because of stimulus overload, IMHO.
