> Saying "How so?", in general, is not handled by people as a genuine and sincere question, it's usually laden with an "I don't believe you" vibe, especially with the dismissive nature of the lead-in.

I don't believe that. I think it is a perfectly fine question, and don't find anything wrong with the way the post was worded. Based on my personal experience, I think my interpretation is the general one.

From my 30 years management experience, your personal experience is not what I've seen. Maybe works in small teams but not with strangers; too short, too abrupt and provides little to no context about the desired answer.

For example, in the case above, was the "How so?" directed at the "immediately stop using it" part or the "have no choice" part? Both?
