    That doesn’t mean smart people can’t say “no”.

    Just because I’m saying “no”, it doesn’t mean I am stupid!

    I mean, I am stupid. But that’s not because I’m saying “no”!

      Although it does mean that stupid people never say yes, so this is dumb to start with.

      Exactly. The fallacy of undistributed middle is strong with this OP…

      All stupid people are no-sayers. (DU) You are a no-sayer. (DU) Therefore you are a stupid person. (DU) AAA syllogism - invalid due to above fallacy.

      “The middle term must be distributed at least once.”
