I very much agree in principle with your last section, but I disagree with you that this was an instance of the OP saying something inscrutable or bizarre. My intuitive reaction is that you are being willfully obtuse/uncharitable/hostile—though I realize this is very possibly false, and that it is simply the case that different things are more or less clear/helpful to different people. But that should be a reason for you not to insist that if you personally don’t understand or benefit from something, then nobody else does and the post is Objectively Bad!

The complaint in the grandparent was aimed at TAG, not at the OP.
Oh, I see, that was unclear to me.
