the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:

Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how “smooth” sharks really are.

[bransonreese]

Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because it’s so smooth.

[severepaperhideout-deactivated2]

But buddy.

Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.

Buddy. It’s smooth. The link you sent me led to a website that described how smooth they are. I dunno, maybe you don’t know how to read?

from one way, they are; the other way, not so much

[bransonreese]

You’re half right. From one way they are smooth, but from the other way they’re also smooth.

your wrong @bransonreese 

[bransonreese]

hmmmm maybe you wanna actually read the link before you try to argue next time?

[carssimplified]

I feel like the confusion is stemming from the fact that sandpaper is very smooth, like a shark's skin.
