Does intent matter? It would seem that there are some cases where offering a non-true rejection is more analogous to being confused than being rude.

I agree, obviously, that often offering a non-true rejection is rudeness. But 'true rejections' are sometimes hard to really nail down.

Intent matters a great deal on this one.
