It doesn't matter if they're stupid or brilliant. If the emotion behind their mood is strong enough, telling them whether or not or asking them if they are being serious is not the right move because as far as they are concerned, you are being insensitive.

My mood is pretty consistent. And when I get angry, I can point you directly to the cause (for example, you and your stupid argument based on the most recent conclusion you jumped).

My hormones don't get whipped into a frenzy. And when I'm horny, I'm thinking about the same things and thinking in the same way is when I'm not (as) horny.
