This kind of person (also happened a lot with cryptocurrencies) always goes 'that isn't how it works, this isn't a problem' then doesn't explain what the mistake is you are supposed to have made, and then a few weeks/months/days/search later it is revealed that it was how it works and it is a huge problem. And it is so annoyingly common im very happy with the moderation here.
it’s so common that I wish there was a specific name to put to that and every other type of reply guy that cryptocurrencies, chan culture, and meme stocks “gifted” us. it feels like the bullshit tactics cropped up faster than anyone really was able to catalog them, though a lot of them are really recognizable when you’ve seen them a few times.
I'm guessing that "obscurantist proponent" is not exactly an ideal option, sorta lacks that punch for precise poignant use in an enraged soliloquy
I'll give it a ponder see if my brain delivers an option
weak attempt: replyribbon; linear, unsophisticated, prone to reuse without much change, and extremely easy to rip to shreds
