You're absolutely right! Humans really like emotional validation.

Adding a bit more substantial comment:

Users of sites like Stack Overflow have reported really disliking answers like "You are solving the wrong problem" or "This is a bad approach".

Whatever garnish you put on top of the problem, the bitter lesson suggests that more data and more problem context improve the solution faster than whatever you are thinking right now. That's why it's called the bitter lesson.
