“I think [term X] in your post is going to cause misunderstandings, I’d suggest phrasing it differently.”
“Oh, haters are gonna hate, there’s no amount of rephrasing that’s going to prevent this from being misinterpreted if people want to.”
I think I feel differently about this depending on whether the first person has a specific suggestion. Without it, I think that sometimes the second person isn’t “not bothering to put in the effort” so much as “doesn’t think the effort will pay off”, or even “has already put in the effort and this was the result”. It may be much easier to notice that something will be misunderstood than to phrase it differently such that it won’t be.
Broadly agree, but:
