Heard a guy at Home Depot tell his kid 'just hit it harder' and I had to walk away

It was a father-son pair looking at a seized bolt on a lawn mower deck, and the kid asked what to do if the WD-40 didn't work. Dad just shrugged and said that line without even looking at the bolt. I bit my tongue because I wanted to mention a breaker bar or some heat, but I figured he'd find out the hard way when the head snapped off. Has anyone else had to stop themselves from giving free advice to strangers in the tool aisle?

Didn't the kid deserve a real answer instead of a shrug and a gamble on that bolt?

Tbh the shrug was giving homework help and the bolt was just a plot twist.
