People who say "it depends", without also explaining what it depends on, are not worth listening to. Someone who advocates for a silver bullet solution to a problem is more helpful than someone who won't make any recommendation at all, because "it all depends".
You can say it depends, if the entire point you are making is just that it depends!
It's unrealistic to outline all the different thought processes that would go into such a decisionn in a short comment on HN. And you could not hope to cover all the different things it depends on.
Neither of these statements are true (and the latter can be far more devastating as those types love to rush through changes without careful consideration), but you're free to repeat them as many times as you'd like in hopes they become true.
