Semantics, and a bad interpretation of it despite.

"look" - is a statement of fact not a suggestion of behavior.

Saying 'you look stupid,' has a far different meaning than 'you are acting stupidly.' They are not interchangeable.

It's all a manner of subjective opinion anyway. Welcome to my realm of the Ignore List.
