Since the comment you responded to already complained about use of passive voice...

It's going to be interpreted BY WHOM to say that? Other .NET developers? Yeah, maybe, at least some of them. By the submitter of the original bug? No idea, I can't read their mind.

By approximately everyone. Passive voice saying something should be done differently, in reply to someone doing something, is saying that person should do it differently.

Mind-reading is not necessary to predict how people will react to certain patterns of behavior.
