"Justified", probably, depends.
Stupid, definitely.

It might be foolhardy, given the chance of wilful misinterpretation; but there're times when it'd be wholly justified. It rather depends on the nature of the (merely hypothetical) conversation in which it (merely hypothetically) happens.

Well it would be if the ends justified the means.
If as a public servant you're repeating a holocaust joke on live tv which is going to offend / hurt a lot of people you better make sure the payoff is worth it.
True story, I once had a director that let slip to the board he had never heard of the holocaust. Because of that the whole lot of us were flown to Poland to visit Auschwitz for education. Fucking grim, the smell of human hair that had been cut from the prisoners still haunts me.
Krakow is lovely though, if you've never been your should.
