I've been guilty of using this kind of phrasing passive aggressively to imply someone was overthinking a problem, while also feeling the sting of hearing it told to me under that context. In most cases, there were other issues at play providing a communication block that we had to overcome instead of slipping in generalizations that can be demeaning.

Thanks for a really illuminating article.

Could you explain some of those communication blocks you mention?
