Saying, "no matter what Bill says you still won't get it" is the same thing as saying that she is stupid. Such a point is clearly ad hominem and unnecessary. It is a statement of hopelessness. I'm not sure there is a way to reword it. Just don't say it. If you really feel that she will never get it, then don't waste time trying to help her get it. If you think it might be possible for her to get it, and you have time, spend more time trying to uncover the paradigm or hidden assumptions that prevent her from getting it. It might also be that you have some hidden assumptions that cause you not to get it. In other words, Judy might be the one seeing correctly and you do not, so she doesn't "get it" because she rightly disagrees and does not accept falsehood. Peace be with you.
