This is bad advice IMO. There is a time and place for everything and if people are just throwing shit at a wall that's one thing but if you're the one trying to recommend something there's nothing less helpful than "that's not quite what I was looking for". Commentary on recommendations -- especially if they're just outside the strike zone -- is a part of being "specific" and if people are sincere should get you better recommendations once they know your actual thresholds for certain elements.
Its tough to find good recommendations though, I really tend to prefer just tag surfing on MAL, Dex, VNDB, etc.
