> someone: that's a stupid approach. It can't work.
Can't you just say "it can't work"? What additional information is communicated when you say it's stupid?
If both people are on board with this conversation style then obviously it's fine, but I know lots of smart people and none of them communicate like this, even when they're telling me clearly and concisely that I'm wrong.
