Yes, that's implicit in that observation. I thought that much was equally dumb. But only when I take the time to delve into the story, which I didn't do while watching, and only am doing afterwords for laughs. It hasn't diminished my enjoyment of the movie, seeing as I never intended it to serve as my moral compass.
