This is kind of how I feel about the subject. When you come out with a "X is stupid", If X is something that I do, my reasoning for doing something or something that I care about, what does that say about me? If I believe something for a stupid reason, or believe in something stupid or do stupid things for any reason at all doesn't that say something about me? I would say it certainly does and in a negative way. I fail to see how it can not be an insult in this sort of a fashion. I don't think "X is stupid" always translates this way, but definitely can.
