I don't appreciate the snark. I can have a view about the economy and the market direction. Maybe I won't have sick gains but why would it bother a commenter on Reddit if I don't know certain details about a specific retirement plan?

This is one thing I don't like about reddit.

OP: "Guys, what's the best way to peel an apple?"

Commenter 1: "You shouldn't be peeling apples."

Commenter 2: "Have you tried peeling bananas? They're a better choice."

I mean this one this is more like “I don’t understand Texas Hold ‘em, should I bet $50 or $100 per hand?”

I think you are missing his point. It’s more like:

OP - I want to protect my money.

Commenter 1) - Keep investing

OP - I don’t need investment advice.

Commenter 2 - You do need investment advice since you can’t figure out the safe funds which are specifically labeled. I.e. Mutual funds. This is literally a 10 second google.

OP - I just want to protect my Money

Commenter 1, 2, 3 - Keep investing you already took a huge amount of pain.
