Have you ever held a plank for, say, 60 seconds? I can't imagine someone who has suggesting that planks are to situps like standing is to running.

We all adhere to that mantra already. That's why we're not being assholes to each other, we're just being assertive/straight-talking/pragmatic/realistic/tough-love. And if we were being an asshole, it was unavoidable / necessary in that situation. And if it wasn't, it was just a rare slip-up on our part, we're not normally like that, everyone slips up sometimes, to err is human, and only a total asshole would call us an asshole for such an trivial and inevitable lapse in our normally-impeccable judgement.
