Your post brings up to me a cultural difference between practicing scientists in the hard sciences (I include biology) and folk.

"Dude, you opened your mouth without engaging your brain." would not be considered rude in my circles. In fact, it would be rather complimentary since the underlying assumption is that if the other's brain had been engaged the error would not have occurred.

We get challenged daily, hourly, by collegues; data that refuses to comply with our elegant hypotheses (which we like to call theories until the humbling process of writing them up as papers); and equipment with inconvenient limitations.
