Interesting- in spirit, though I suppose the danger in having a "standard" response is that by using it consistently in that particular context you're shifting its meaning over time to something like "You're being lame. Did you know that?". Probably better than "standard response" as a phrase, would be a standard response being calm socratic irony- a response that requires some thought and substance on the part of the writer, rather than just a quick "can you elaborate" boxed one liner that becomes a cargo cult.
