The problem with satisfying retorts is twofold:
(a) I find myself thinking of all the things I *would* have said, rather
than what I actually said, for hours afterwards
(b) If one does come up with a satisfyingly scathing retort at the time,
one then feels bad afterwards, for not treating the person like a human
being, but an object.
