The passage quoted is both cute and nasty. It's cute in the was Bagshaw said his piece and it's nasty in the way the author makes everyone else seem stupid. The author has a nasty streak that shows in this book and when it shows, it's not nice at all even if the words are meant to be cute. He is making fun of people who may have some difficulties. It's very rude and not nice.
