no it wouldn't

the whole point is to critique the post

You can critique without being sarcastic:

> Use the term, never define the term, classic.

Communicate the same thing in a way you'd do to someone's face:

> This article doesn't define the term "CTE".

Or even more directly, still not rude:

> I wish the article had defined its terms! "CTE" stands for "Common Table Expressions..."
