Madoka takes it seriously as the first option she for a wish that she came across. She decides against it, for obvious reasons, but her reaction wasn’t “that’s a silly wish, I can think of a hundred better ones”...
Perhaps your interpretation is correct—I don’t know. Keep in mind that one wouldn’t deny a another’s suggestion outright in Japanese culture; even if a suggestion were ridiculous, often one will show that they’ve considered it before offering some excuse to decline.
“Do you like cake? Wish for cake!” ″Hmm, I do like cake; some cake would be really nice right now. Maybe I should wait to hear other wishes first, though.”
Ok, yeah. I can accept it as a matter of interpretation. Maybe you are right. It is often hard to see interpretations other than one’s own. So lets not argue about it. Still, I don’t think that dialogue that you wrote is what was going on, that wasn’t how things were put, but I won’t argue the point, as this is something not worth arguing about. Again, maybe you are right.
