You know for any other observer it would not be unreasonable language that you’re just being a casual critic of the quote you pasted.

“Deeply un-empathic” could be seen as a casual ad hominem about the speakers state of mind.

I don’t care or think you’re being that; I get your point without thinking you’re casually critical.

I just don’t think your point is any more interesting or nuanced. It’s very same-y. As if you translated what you read rather than expressed a novel emotional context.
