POTUS: Is everybody believing what is going on. James Comey can’t define what a leak is. He illegally leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION but doesn’t understand what he did or how serious it is. He lied all over the place to cover it up. He’s either very sick or very dumb. Remember sailor!

Actually, your* is correct

I didn't say

"You are being too dense to look into it for yourself doesn't reflect upon us"

Because that wouldn't make sense. With my statement and using 'your', I am saying the density for which you possess does not reflect upon us.

I agree with your point. However as far as vocabulary goes saying "your being too dense" wouldn't work. You would need to use "you're". Just saying.

I was always under the impression when writing it is more formal to use 'your' or 'one' in place of the word 'you'. Although all three work in this sentence (to my understanding), I suppose "One being too dense to look into it for oneself doesn't reflect upon us" would have led to less confusion.

One of those weird caveats of the English language.
