Disappointed by the Motive is currently defined to be The Hero disappointed by a bad guy's petty Motive Rant. But does this applies to a completely benign case, like the following Played for Laughs example:
Alice did something that is undoubtedly having Grew a Spine to be a Determinator. Bob asked Alice why she took such drastic action, and Alice gave Bob a completely reasonable and mundane answer. Bob's mood sours.
Of course, Bob is already established as a Cloudcuckoolander.
