Not as a conversation starter, of course. It's a response emphasizing opposition to a previously stated idea.

-- Is that the way you like it?
-- No! (You misunderstood.) That's the way I don't like it.

Good. Thanks, Jim.

Now, related to this topic, about this one, do you think the second 'create' is intransitive or transitive?

Human beings can create in the ways they have never created before.

Takado you think the second 'create' is intransitive or transitive?
This may be idiosyncratic on my part, but I would call both uses of create in that sentence "absolute usage of a transitive verb". No object is stated, but something (vague, unspecific, general) is implied. Compare: Tonight he ate in a way he has never eaten before.
