Not really, I was directly refuting their bigger point, which was that htmx is not in an uncanny valley between basic HTML and real Javascript because there are all kinds of simple use cases where htmx is ideal. They then listed off use cases that in fact do not require htmx :-)

If you're going to make a point like that via examples, they should be (in aggregate) useful examples that make your point!

Even setting aside that examples made up basically that poster's entire point, the reason people provide examples even for more developed argumernts is because concrete evidence is important to persuasiveness (not because they are being charitable). When someone tries multiple examples and none prove their point, it's perfectly valid to point that out.
