Bruce, I think Jim was observing that during one of these
conversations, someone will almost inevitably make an assertion that
is unsupported, incorrect, dangerous and a little irritating.

The thread had continued with supported, correct, safe and edifying

too much for Jim...

He was using a form of humor intended to elicit a laugh and lighten the
load of everyday existence.

It made me chuckle, anyway.
