Yeah I didn't get that either, I think it could be a good comment in the right circumstances. And wrong in the wrong circumstances I suspect.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Is not sarcasm more likely a defense against their own feelings of inadequacy...trying to make themselves look better by belittling others?
Sarcasm is designed to put others down and is not nice!

Humor? Instructive? The main thing I learned from this was to keep a good distance from those who enjoy sarcasm. If creating that distance is the intent of the person employing the sarcasm it generally succeeds very well with me.
