Strong suggestion, do not give advice without explaining any reasons or context

It’s unclear if this comment missed the fact that the previous user was using mimicry as a rhetorical device to critique the original poster, or if it was an attempt at 'yes and'-ing by doubling down on the brevity. In either case, the question would have been more effective if directed at the grandparent comment, since that is the actual source of the unsupported assertion.
