She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.

Hmmmmm...that's not really what the article is saying though is it?.......purposeful misinterpretation of the research mixed with pompous literal interpretation of some sayings isn't particularly clever either....

Here's a clip of the article where it very clearly states that some are BS:

"In the study, nearly 300 participants were presented with various statements, including those of the "*kitten*" variety, and asked to react to them by rating their profoundness on a scale of one to five, classifying quotes as either profound, *kitten*, or mundane. They were also given tests meant to measure their cognitive ability and personality"

TL/DR - You're not particularly clever either.

This could get boring but I'll give it one more round...

The headline states "Your Facebook Friends Who Post Inspirational Quotes Are Really Dumb" the 'research' then goes on to show that some out of a group of 300 people (no attempt to find out if they regularly post quotes) don't recognise made up quotes when presented with them. There is no attempt to find out if they would actually post them on to anybody

So given the lack of rigour in this 'research', I'd say it's pretty dumb to conclude the quotes you are seeing in your feed are coming from dumb friends...
