I agree with this to some extent. Although, it is important to recognize that the poster is trying to strike a difficult balance between anonymity and descriptiveness. As I mentioned earlier, the threat of internal repercussions inside the team for posting is very real to the people asking for help. Giving away more details and information, while helpful to us, may strip that person of their anonymity to a reader that is involved in the situation.
