Your general concern is commendable, but some content-lite comments are worse than others, and sometimes just making nice is more important than calling it out when a comment is largely benign.
Fair! I actually deleted it first before going back and deciding to post it.
I've started to see more "content-lite" comments recently (along with puns), so I figured it might be good to over-index on pointing out community values.
Hopefully OP was able to see that it wasn't personal and that I meant no harm.
