Pretty sure that was in response to you making assumptions about their experience, not as an answer to the question about what specifically makes them think that, which you only asked afterwards. This whole chain of comments is a good example of why responding with a dismissive short comment isn't a good idea, even if it feels good to send in the moment.

And it's hardly unfair to make assumptions about someone's experience when they do not include it along with their highly reductive comment supposedly based on such experience!
