Like. Yes, you've correctly identified the logic of the joke. But it doesn't need to be disproven. It's a joke, and the premise is only being entertained for the sake of the joke.

Now, I want to be clear here: I'm not saying that what he said was justified because it was a joke. But I think it has to either criticized or defended as a joke. And that means that it doesn't need to be criticized or defended as a serious statement.

DA

I think you're possible overestimating people's ability to take it as a joke though.

It's a statement you hear in ordinary conversation that's taken, without any malice whatsoever, as being a factual thing. For everyone who looks at the statement and gets the joke, there'll be many others for whom it merely reinforces a completely false assumption they're already making, i.e. they don't get the joke. In that ambigiousness, then it's hard to look at it as solely a joke, because it -- and other statements like it that people pass off as jokes -- has much wider connotations than that.
