I see the point of trying to keep comment quality high but points like the parent are quite correct and not really starting flamewars.
A point being correct doesn't mean it isn't flamebait. Which correct points one makes, in which order, in what context, and with what extra baggage, all matter. People often act like "but it's correct" or "I'm just pointing out facts" is some sort of blank check, but this is far from the case.
Sometimes the correctness of a point makes it worse. An example I've used in the past is middle school kids pointing out the acne on another kid's face. An example pg has used is telling an old person "you will die soon".
