The same way you can dismiss the logic as inherently flawed. This is all about meanings attributed to symbols, group dynamics, and language.

People should not say "I don't get it" if they really mean "I understand what you are saying but do not see how people can ignore history and I disagree with it." That will let others know that you are not confused and do not need the same thing explained over and over again using different words.
