Make sense of the following by explaining it to yourself.
If you hear a name called and it is not your name, do you respond?
If you hear someone calling out a derogatory comment, not necessarily at/to you, do you respond?
If you think you would respond (be offended), that indicates that you think/thought it applies to you.
Logically, when a person is offended it is probably because the comment was perceived as a correct point. Thus, logically it cannot be offensive because your reaction is acknowledgment that it is an accurate point.

Note: If you take exception, you have an exceptional take on it. Me thinks thou doth protest much too much. (2)

Goal: Increase knowledge of economic reality preserving life through tariffs war. My hypothesis explained here in an example is the loss of life of passengers on the Titanic. The loss would have been substantially fewer if there had been a tariff of 100% and more on the price of tickets. Recommendation: Adopt the policy to save lives with tariffs by charging only enough tariffs to save 100% of lives. Expect this methodology to work almost perfectly achieving the intent for applying the tariff.
Warning label: Side-effects are certain to result in the diminishment (diminution) of quality or entirety of life. *
Supposition: The side-effect may over time result in a similar amount of life diminution as the actual event that occurred with the iceberg. AN OPINION
