They criticise the comment: "This is not worded correctly.", by saying that "Comments like this are unhelpful… ", which is true.
However, I don't think that even their example of an "actionable" comment ("suggestion: This is not worded correctly. Can we change this to match the wording of the marketing page?") is actually a "good" comment, because whilst it is slightly more specific it still doesn't say what the wording on the marketing page actually is.
It would be better to write: "Can we change 'X' to 'Y' to match the wording of the marketing page?".
