Oh hell, that isn't true at all. "Help" isn't an absolutely flawless,
errorless entity; it's an earnest attempt to assist someone in good faith.
And polite rebuttals aren't "pointless" except in the minds of pedants.

"The world can go to the dogs. As long as I'm right, that's all that
really matters." The funny thing is your irrational ire is making _you_
look more ridiculous than your "adversary".
I shall continue to assist posters with advice I believe correct without
checking each and every method or procedure I happen to mention. If this
perturbs you, I'll probably enjoy it.
