在别人发表明显错误的言论后

We all get called out from time to time at the office and in social settings.

But sometimes letting someone's accusation¹ linger inthe air exposes its flaws.

 

Sure you've got to defend yourself sometimes, but if someone takes a really stupid jab atyou, and others notice, you might look stronger just saying nothing and chuckling² instead.

 

Let that person roast in their own stupidity.
