There are two types of reactions to that sentence: one is those who think "wow, I think I'll give that a try." The other is those who back away slowly then after a few paces turn and run in the opposite direction.
For either side, I would think, if you don't "get" the other side's reaction, it can't be explained to you.

Very true. I'd be in the crowd sidling away, but I am fully appreciative of the fact that some people may read that and rush to the bookshop to buy it.
Of course, they're wrong and I'm right though.
