>Should the OP have written a manuscript to make you feel better? In your mind, should a long, drawn out article only be refuted by something of similar length? It's not about "feeling better"? It's that the comment is very dismissive and sums up to "just refactor". Advice of "just refactor" (or "just do x") is lazy and ignores all context.
