The issue is that Fleming was a very ironic and sarcastic man.. he made Bond react the same way...
It is all treated in a light hearted manner and dealt with flippantly... to pretend otherwise is both historically (Bond is a 'period' piece regardless of film updating) incorrect and misunderstands the reasoning behind it...that's why the Moore films were so good.. because he is flippant, he is so unlikely...even if his last two were dreadful...
