And yet it's a lot more sensible than trying to reduce a person to a watered downed, cliche sentence. Your statement reminds me of a recent "meme" that got kicked around, which called out the idea of someone going off while angry as "showing their true colors," and taking issue with how such a statement completely negates all the times a person was good or nice as if it were fake, but that this nasty side in the heat of the moment must really be this person's one true self. And the meme is right, the concept is bogus. But people love watered down, cliche sentences because they are easy and simple.
