Hmm when I think about it, the only two in that list I’ve used are just and only. Whenever I see myself writing them in my response, I spend the 5-10 min to throw together the PR to do it. It’ll lack testing but I deploy it to a QA server and let the asker go wild with seeing if the solution matches. If I can’t do that, I realize there’s something else there and rewrite my response. I find that to be a useful gauge on the appropriateness of those words.
