You're reading too much into this. I just want advice to be useful. I consider advice useful when it's able to be used by the people it applies to. Generic advice fails to be able to be used by a large subset of people it applies to, and therefore generic advice isn't useful, and therefore I think it's bad advice.

Think of it like this:

Person A: "If you're new to programming, just start with javascript."

Person B: "But what if they want to start in game development, finance programming, or data science instead? Javascript isn't that helpful to them. I think you should be more specific. 'New To Programming' is too broad of a field."

Person A: "Oh, so you don't think people should feel responsible for your own behavior?"

Person A is clearly projecting nonsense at person B, who is just pointing out the advice is too broad. That's it.
