But "your remarks make our community stupid" is really difficult to parse as entirely without ad-hominem and offered only in a constructive manner.

A while back I participated in an public round-table held by an online magazine in which an attorney admitted to practice before the Supreme Court misrepresented the law, as far as I can tell consciously, and I caught him at it. This was confirmed by David McGowan, who was also participating and at the time was dean of a law school. So, yes, attorneys do that from time to time, for their own reasons.
