Sure. It's also pretty common as a joke format to respond to something one way when you know it was meant to be taken in a different way.
In English we used to call it the old switcheroo, but my comment is a pretty lame example of one.
Fair. It's hard to know sometimes if someone has English as a first or second language. People can be really technically good, but then not understand more subtle cultural things.
