You’re already backtracking by saying “usually” so you could easily answer your own question here: this is an unusual case.
But that being said, there is nothing in the definition of boring that contains the term “easier.” Like go play video games for an hour, then go sit in a room with the lights off and try to guess when an hour has passed. You’ll see how easily boring can be much more difficult.
What did I backtrack from? You asked for my logic and you got it. Here’s some more.
Most words have more than one denotation and all words have innumerable connotations. That’s where context and inference come into play, both of which I employed in determining precisely what the original commentor meant by “boring as hell.” It seemed obviously defensive given the context of the meme, as did many other comments in this thread trying to distance Olympic shooting from slaughtering school kids hunting or whatever. That implied, to my subjective reasoning, that the commentor thought it was somehow inferior to whatever version of competitive gun-shooting they prefer. If your subjective reasoning led you to believe “boring as hell” meant “really, really hard,” that’s something you’ll have to settle with you and your brain, friend.
You started with it “should” be easier to “usually” being easier. Statement of fact to just more than 50%.

You’re projecting. I do not believe that saying something is boring indicates anything about it’s relative difficulty. That’s you.
You’re thinking of “would.” “Should” just means it’s probable. You know, like “usually.”
You’re projecting
Again, I’m using context and experience to infer your opinion. Naturally it’s bound to be biased, it is my experience, but it’s the best I can do with nothing but your condescending whinging to go on.

Fair enough, I stand corrected.

Well, hopefully going forward your experience will now help guide you to what should have been obvious the whole time: there was precisely zero context that indicated I thought that.
condescending whinging to go on.
Lol imagine with starting this whole thing by condescendingly telling the poster that because they find it boring it should be easier…and then turning around and whining that you completely fabricated a strawman because someone else was condescending.
It never cease to amaze me how often other posters see themselves in me, and seem to hate it.
Now that sounds like projection if I’ve ever heard it. I love myself! You don’t suppose anyone ever sees you in you and doesn’t like what they see, do you?
So it should be even easier, right?
No. Why do you think that logic follows?
Because a self-proclaimed competition shooter said it’s boring. Boring things usually aren’t more difficult than the non-boring version.
