Nah, Stephen, it's just professional bias: Brad is looking for contradiction.

But yes, it's complicated: I like the rain in at least two settings. First, tropical rain. When it's hot, rain is likely to cool you down. Then, while I'm inside, rain can bring the nice chemicals to the soil and I might not bother. Unless it starts inundating everything, or if I think too much about the people who are not protected by a roof. In many other cases, rain just sucks, and even more since the air is so contaminated. But plants seem to like it.

I wouldn't presume of the stupidity of the rain though. It probably responds to a non-rational logic, therefore cannot be held responsible for the inconvenience it makes manifest. You might want to blame the meteorological lack of precision, but again, the math here is complicated.
