I'll ask the same question I asked someone else:

You're saying removing ambiguity does not make it easier to read? You're saying using a word that means nothing like what you meant to say is easier to read than using the correct word?

Really?

What are you referring to? What word did the GP use that means nothing like what they meant to say?

OK. My brain farted, and I misunderstood the top post to be saying something else, and your and others' criticisms were misinterpreted by me.

Now here's the thing. I wrote all my prior comments on a machine with no LLM access. On my personal machine, I had a while ago installed a TamperMonkey script that sends my draft, along with all the parents (to the root) to an LLM for feedback (with a specific prompt). All it does is give feedback (logical errors, etc). So I tried again with one of my comments, and its feedback found several flaws with my comment, and ended it with this suggestion:

"Considering all this, it might be BETTER to either not reply ..."

Had I had this advice when I was writing those comments, it would have saved me and others a fair amount of time.

This is (mildly) useful. It'd be sad to ban such use.
