Yeah, I guess. It just seems odd that someone expresses a wishful fantasy type secret and the first comment is chiming in to let them know that while the fantasy is impossible, they can still do [a bunch of stuff they might already be doing already and anyway has nothing to do with the wish fulfillment part]. It's well meaning but a bit, er... not sure how to put it.
It's like if I said how much I really wished I could travel to Paris but I can't afford it and you said well, you could always take a nice walk in the park with a baguette, because walking is fantastic exercise! You're not wrong, but I'd still feel a little miffed like you're trying to squelch my dream with more mundane practicalities and it's not the time or place.
