I guess. In real life you have some character collateral that can make some of the shite seem a lot less harsh, I get that.

ETA: I guess I just can't think of a situation(IRL or here) in which I'd call out a dude in a conversation claiming to have seen a documentary when I thought he hadn't actually seen it based on his opinion of it. Calling that out just seems self serving in any situation.

What are the possible results? Making him seem like a liar, or opening a path for you to say something about the documentary that you saw that maybe he didn't see. Either way, it's just asking people to validate that you're smart.

His post was about how human nature won't allow the concepts in the documentary to be fulfilled, and that it's an idealistic pipe dream.

From that opinion it's apparent that he didn't watch it at all or didn't watch it closely. (He already admitted he didn't watch all of it, and what he did watch was in a doctors office, clearly he didn't really get to absorb it properly).

It's like saying rainbow and getting the response 'grey'. The critique of it just doesn't even make sense.
