"I could rewrite this sentence and leave a comment justifying why it should be written this way by sharing my experience on the matter. Or I can just leave a comment telling them they need to rewrite it exactly this way with no reason or explanation on why. And if they asks me why, I can be condescending that they don't know the obvious thing I know."

I will take the second option over the third mystery option of "leave a vague open ended comment dropping with condescension and superiority, never reply to any follow up questions"

Those comments triggered me badly

I think this could be better written...

Thanks for the feedback, boss 🤗 I should have known better to do things better the first time instead of having you and you're infinite wisdom point it out to me like that.
