G. "Is that what they're teaching in schools these days?"
F. "You have such a refreshing way of saying it, it made us forget we all knew that already."
E. "You, sir, are a master of the obvious." (for use on males only. There is, alas, no good feminine equivalent)
E.2. Although what the heck - "You, ma'am, are a mistress of the obvious." - has a certain freshness to it! Something about that "ma'am." Tart and sassy!
D. (after a thoughtful pause) "That's a truism." (if you think there's a risk of them taking that as agreement, or as a compliment, go with "That's circular logic" instead)
C. "Can you elucidate your thought process for us? How did you arrive at that conclusion?"
B. "I wasn't aware of that. When I was born, I wasn't aware of that."
A. "Prove it."
