I think OP's point was that clearly there is a disconnect between what people at Twitter are/were saying/thinking, and reality. Unfortunately, when your words or ideas come into conflict with reality, it is rarely reality that is wrong

For example, if someone were cut from a sports team and the coach went and talked about how good that person was, and how hard they worked. Well it raises the obvious question, if they were so good and did work so hard, why did they get cut? And why does everyone get so upset when people ask the obvious question?
