I didn't see it either.
But then, I see a difference between "provocative of thought"
versus "provocative of resentment/rage/etc." I'll take you
at your word that you were curious and looking to provoke
thought, not antagonism, cuz that's how I read the question.
Of course, people who are uncomfortable with their answer
to the question might have a different perception, as might
the "Professionally Offended".(*)
