The old modified for forums use saying that "It's not WHAT YOU SAY (WRITE) it's HOW YOU SAY (WRITE) IT" would fit here. LOL, if he wants to make someone "worry less" it can easily be explained in a way that does not embarrass, insult or make someone look or feel like a fool. IIRC he says he's a doctor. Would that condescending attitude be considered good "bedside manners?" If the intent is to educate someone there certainly is a better way to express that knowledge in a nicer manner.
