CONTEXT!!!

Dim memory tells me that the original intent was to respond to someone who
said he was just making a stab in the dark (i.e. guessing).  The response
means exactly what it says.  "If someone makes a stab in the dark, he is
obviously unafraid to stab both friend and foe."  You correctly interpreted
it that way.  Don't assume it means something else just so you can find
fault with it.
