Today, on a conference call, someone said, "it's always darkest before the dawn."

I couldn't help myself. I said, "No it isn't. It's darkest in the middle of the night, equidistant between sunset and sunrise." That got quite a few laughs.

You're autistically taking the point away from the statement, due to grammatical inconsistencies frying your brain-circuits. It's like the saying, "you can't fix stupid." You'd be the guy arguing, "Well, no shit. You can't increase people's IQ points. That's just retarded. And how would you fix it anyway? There's no brain surgery that would..." blah-blah-blah.

You get the point of the saying: you're simply stuck on the semantics.

Ah, classic. Thanks for admitting defeat. Enjoy the rest of your night.

When someone starts getting insulting, the conversation is over. You started getting insulting and, did to boot, start doing the exact thing you accused me of. Being autistic about something.

I simply pointed out that the statement, as presented, is self cancelling. You're taking it places that I never even cared to go. You are right, I can't increase your IQ points, but you've certainly decreased mine.
