Maybe you thinking that false positive remarks are a necessary part to politeness is your real issue with it? Ironic in its own way, although at this point I'm just consumed by the despair.
Why would I need to elaborate? You expressed that a lot of people hold it in high regard, I expressed I don't. That was exactly the extent I wanted to address it and I think it's a perfectly reasonable stopping point. I don't need to explain myself about my own impressions. To the extent it was relevant, I played along and that's it.
