Kevin isn't capable of complex thoughts on that level.

Analyzing it is complex, but the behavior itself is more instinctual. I think Kevin feels the difference, but doesn't think about it rationally.

I do think categorizing Steve's comments as "wrong" vastly oversimplified the exchange, though. He's pulling the emotional argument Kevin is making into a rational one, which is the point of the exchange.
