That's correct only if you assume that everyone behaves in a rational way. 
There are people with psychological disabilities, who sometimes do not 
behave rationally.  One particularly impressive disability is for example 
Tourette's syndrome.[1] The best thing you can do is to not take what they 
do and say seriously/literally, IOW, to take what they do and say with 
many grains of salt.  Of course all this is more difficult to perceive 
with people who behave irrationally only at times, and is also more 
difficult to perceive on a mailing list.
