Answerer to OP: "No one will ever say this." I comment: "Can you provide a source to substantiate that claim?" Answerer: "I am a Native speaker."
My comment was largely due to the fact that the question you asked was too general, and doesn't really match with the specific question you wanted an answer for - saying that obscure-technical-term is/isn't in general use with a specific community is very different from asking whether "some bad grammar" is valid.

@AIQ Totally have to disagree with you there - if a particular phrase is "extremely unusual" then it should be called out as such. Something having a different name is a rather different scenario, but this is conflating the two.

drop-down-menu is a specific term for a specific item, so rather different from most questions, and nothing to do with a question about rudeness.

You are asking them to prove a negative - that is logically impossible!

I comment "What do you think and why?" to a question "Is this correct?" - and someone posts an answer "No - this is incorrect because . . ."
I didn't say it was a good thing to do, I said that the current system encourages it

For a new user, it can be very hard to gain reputation points, so getting in first-and-fast is an important tool for those users.
