I apologize if I misinterpreted what you wrote. It seems you just meant to criticize the title, or...? I'm actually not sure what your above comment was getting at. Sorry if I missed your point.

I was responding specifically to the content that I quoted, which came from the post that I replied to.

I should note that I am not the person who started this comment thread.

They were criticizing the post title as they did not believe that the contents within were specific to Python.

They were not criticizing Python either. Rather they were saying that the word Python in the title appears to be used to attract viewers who might otherwise be intimidated by the contents, instead of being relevant to the contents of that article.

I see! Thanks. What I meant to say was that the "'smart' enough" comment seemed to me to be meant in a jocular way and should not be something to take offence at. However, I did indeed misread the thread flow.
The scare quotes are what take it from potentially jocular to derisive.
