If an argument lacks logical merit, that argument will be naturally be challenged and criticized. I didn't call anybody "dumb", I merely pointed out that a particular position is currently in contradiction to almost all of the available evidence, and hence voiced my confusion that so many would still hold such a position. Why they chose to do so is not for me to say, you'd have to ask them.

You don't need or have to say a point is illogical or that it lacks logic, as you also don't need to attack person but points.

Pointing what contradicts a point is enough, no need to classify the point of someone else. And again it wasn't only saying it lacked logic but then putting how you are baffled that someone would think like that. You may not admit it, but it sounds very condescending.

If you find me condescending, fair enough; you are entitled to that opinion.

But if an argument is logically deficient, I'm going to point it out as such. Arguments are not a protected species exempt from criticism.
