Just making the comment alone, with no supporting reasoning, makes it sound
like bashing. Adding reasoning, as you've now done, makes it a useful

I agree with s.keeling, but if you had included the 2 paragraphs above, I
wouldn't have -- and if you had included more (like experience or more
reasoning), I would find it even more useful.
