I disagree—it’s more likely that this area sees serious work the more reports are made. If you are concerned about it, too, you could add your own, without telling others to be quiet and risking that the problem is overlooked or not grasped in its full extent.
The author said enough in their post and comments to resolve any confusion: they want to see this problem addressed. Your assumption that they don’t care about solving problems when they spent effort on pointing out this problem is unreasonably uncharitable.

I would not have much to add, so I don’t think I’m going to make a post. I also don’t think I told anyone to be quiet about the issues they’re facing. I did tell the OP that I strong downvoted their post because I thought it was destructive to epistemics around this issue.
You make a good point that more discussion is often favorable to figuring out the root of problems. I just think in this case that consideration is outweighed the soldier mindset framing used by OP when trying to discuss the problem.

~~I didn’t say they don’t care about solving problems. I said I’m uncertain about their goals, which I think is justified for reasons I gave in the paragraph where I said I was uncertain about their goals. ~~ Just looked back. This is wrong. I did make this claim, and you’re right. I should be more uncertain. I do still think I’m more uncertain of their motives than you are though.
