Yesterday I was asked by a woman that what weights she should use for high reps to burn fat better. Then I told her that it's more about the diet than exercising where she responded "but food is so good!".
That's not idiocy, that's humanity.
Nope, it's idiocy alright.
Personally I find it a normal and entirely understandable reaction. Arguably it's just a verbalization of an emotional response. To have that reaction doesn't, to me, indicate any level of stupidity or poorness of judgement. What would be idiocy would be to continue consuming massively more calories than you burned, while having weight loss as a major goal and fully understanding the connection between calorie balance and changes in bodyweight.
If it was a "but food is so good and that's why I want to look for special shortcuts" it's an emotional response that indicates denial/unwillingness to grasp a simple fact simply because it's not agreeable.
I think initial resistance to disagreeable facts is natural, the question is what happens next. Does the person allow reason to prevail and knuckle down, or do they continue to deny and mire themselves in irrationality and self-deception? So I would still hold off on the judgement of idiocy.

To continue on that trend, here is BOSU in a SMITH machine. For the functional stability or something like that...
