Complex thinking required to understand sarcasm

A new study by Israeli psychologists, using patients with damage to different parts of their brains, details an "anatomy of sarcasm" to explain how the mind puts sharp-edged words into context.

So next time someone fails to understand your sarcastic remark, don't scream "that was sarcasm!" - it's inhumane to make fun of mentally retarded.

'Tis inhumane to forgive a moment of ignorance and/or distraction via enlightenment ? Something so simple as a misunderstanding, or mental exhaustion for example, equates to brain damage ?

Stupidity is often involved, too.

Most people only use maximum of 1% of their brains anyway, did you know? OMG INTERASTING11

Apart from that, the news is pretty much "old news", lobotomy patients or people with right brain half damage can't be expected to perform "formal thinking" as Piaget puts it.

It is alright, ApTyp, I forgive you. I forgive you for your transgressions and your understandable, reflexive flailings against that which you cannot comprehend. Shh. It's okay.
