We're missing context as to the existing work relationship. If this was one of the first interactions, maybe it was a little too harsh.
Beyond that, even though I'm generally an asshole, I try to be nice in PR comments. Like it or not, most devs have some amount of ego tied up in their code. So removing the sting with some sugar coating makes for a better chance of them listening.
None of this applies once I have a longer work relationship with the author.
