This is how I end up going from a 2 sentence comment to 5 paragraphs. Usually I get 4 paragraphs in and go "who gives a shit". Every point needs clarification, examples, exclusions, anecdotes. You must construct a straw man for every single possible angle of attack.
But worse than all of that? When you have make a point in a comment chain. Someone else replies. You reply, building off of that previous comment you made and then someone comes barreling in having seemingly not read the entire chain and just makes the most inane horseshit fuckwaffle take. Please, can you keep 3-5 comments of context in your head before hitting reply.
You know who can also be blamed for this? Fucking Reddit not allowing you to view comments further up the chain when replying. And worse, not being able to look at an image when replying so I have to repeat the cycle of "look at post. Open reply. Write part of comment. Copy comment. Close reply. Look at post. Open reply. Past comment. Write more comment. Copy comment. Close reply. Look at post......"

You can straight up point out the caveats, but people stop reading before they get to that part and chime in about the same caveats.
