The only assumption I made was that, in their view, ICE cars don't catch on fire often. I make no assumptions as to why they hold that view. You're the one assuming bad faith with my comment.
On the other hand, it's quicker to Google "car catches fire" or even "how often do cars catch on fire" than it is to post a question here then wait for comments then reply back doubling down on the question. The answer to the question isn't an anecdote or an opinion, it's a statistic and it can be verified quite easily. There's very little good faith to be assumed when someone expresses their opinion that only electric cars can catch on fire.

Yes, you assumed something beyond the question, and you applied a view to it.

No, your comment is just rude by giving the commenter a view point just for asking a question. Whatever your intent, it was rude, and you should apologize and not do it again.
