There is a significant difference between stating a fact to provide information and stating a fact to insult someone. If I were to inserted into Akane at that point in the series, I'd smack him for that crack in a heartbeat.
Overall, there's absolutely no one in the entire Ranma setting who doesn't behave abysmally most of the time. Akane's the only one I've ever heard given a motivation for it (insecurity and feelings of inferiority) that I consider remotely sympathetic.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
