I agree with the devine miss Tofu. Chemist was asked for advice and gave it. It did seem like a tough-love approach, parental even, and something that was possibly needed in this case.
I didn't read it as a put down, ala 'you're a moron, give it up'
I read it more as a tough 'get your pooh together while you still can.'
A gentler approach might not have any effect.
