> This comment is ridiculous. I suggest finding more polite ways to critique a post. Otherwise discussions tend to get boring quickly. Also, the GP was explicitly describing their perception, not trying to promote it as truth. One interesting response would be "I really think that's false. I wonder how we reached such different conclusions."

The original commenter was talking out of their ass and not remotely qualified to comment, given they gave such a patently false opinion - they are just providing an ignorant hot take. The parent comment to yours is completely appropriate IMO, it's not attacking the poster, it calls out the comment. Your condescending follow-up only takes away from the overall level of discourse, to say nothing of the kind of responses (like mine) is ends up invoking. Nothing wrong with calling out BS, it would be much worse, both in terms of honesty and condescension, to give the fake "I wonder..." that you suggest
