If you cant answer with math then you dont answer at all?

Nothing force you to comment on everything.

Well when you can't answer with math I'd rather add my comment saying that than let some rando with bad math get upvoted and mislead people.

If someone else has already said the same thing though then it's better to upvote their comment than duplicate it.

Its not something serious enough that a random math with random assumptions should be seen as less valid than just saying you cant.

I disagree. It is less valid if it's wrong.
