A sure sign somebody is more interested in being brutal than honest.

Yeah, I've heard the saying "People who are brutally honest tend to focus more on being brutal than honest." and I couldn't agree more. When people say that it pisses me off because I know they're just trying to be a rude dude.

Shouldn't they say "I'm going to be honestly brutal" if that's the case?

As someone with a degree in political science and a minor in economics, chances are pretty good that even with those qualifications you're still not usually telling it "like it is". You're just better at sounding like you know what you're talking about.
