I was upfront about not knowing what their motives were, and only guessing at them, so I don't see how I'm 'patting myself on the back' for 'figuring it out.'

When people act in stupid ways we should be charitable and assume they are stupid, rather than acting on some hidden motive we don't know about.

I did say I don't think they're stupid and ventured a guess. I'd like to take that back, since as you pointed out, I don't know the reality. I'll return to my original position: they are dumb and will continue to do dumb things.
