... yes, that's how the process works.

You get what you give. Ideas or justifications that were tossed out
without due consideration can be rejected with just as much
consideration. If you're only spending "4.2 seconds of my time and
half a picojoule of brain energy" coming up with examples to justify
your proposal's utility, why are you surprised that they are brushed
aside as casually as you presented them?

Take the time to make a well-considered example, and you will find it
less likely to be discarded for being poorly conceived of.

Garbage in, garbage out.
