Pointing out tautologies that only sound convincing because of misleading phrases, isn't interesting.

You aren't the gatekeeper of what can and can't be considered interesting.

FWIW, your comment above (about standards) was also mildly interesting to me. I hadn't really given the phrase much thought.

There was no need to be rude about it though.

I'm not the gatekeeper, no, but I can alert you to when you're being duped by someone parroting nonsense.
Great! Just try to do it without being condescending (especially when the comment you're replying to is completely innocuous).
