Because it’s so hard to believe that some people’s digestive systems work differently. Gut microflora is notoriously undiverse in humans.

Maybe there’s a spice level at which I’d get bad shits, but I haven’t gotten so much as a tingle yet and I already have the highest tolerance than any white guy I know. You can be a spice snob and say “you haven’t met my guy Rajesh yet”, but almost no-one saying “spice gives me bad shits” has met Rajesh either so I don’t see the point.
