However, I don't see the answers here as non-serious. Is it any more serious to tell someone "Do it, you're guaranteed a bid," only to have them be disappointed?

No one is saying "don't even try." What they are saying is, if you are going to try, be aware that it might not work.

Correction: I'm saying don't even try.
