I understand why people say HFSP as it can to create provocative curiosity about Bitcoin hoping it will lead to its rabbit hole
At the same time: Many of the Bitcoiners were Shitcoiners 1st dismissing Bitcoin as old tech, slow etc... Many of the Bitcoiners were nocoiners doubting Bitcoin as a ponzi, fraud, etc... dismissing it several times
When you attack someone by saying HFST, it can harden their position on being Anti-Bitcoin (people are tribal and if you attack their ego you can have an extreme negative reaction)
I prefer to be an educator rather than a troll

I agree. Insulting someone or being sarcastic in an argument is never going to convince anyone of anything. On the contrary, from that moment on, the person who has received an "HFSP" in response will radicalise their position because they will "personify" bitcoin in the person who insulted them.
