I don't want to say exactly what it is that I don't like about aa's advice-as-written.

You're irate, but refuse to lay your cards on the table. That's your prerogative.

I don't want to write a not-quite-right version and open myself up to nitpicking

Yes, people often don't want to do that. A less flattering way of phrasing that is that you don't want to open your opinions to scrutiny.

I'm not shy about my opinions, and I wasn't going to play psychic detective with yours.
