Transition Metal Periodic Trend -- Stackexchange's answer confuses me

In summary, the Stack Exchange answer discussing transition metal periodic trends may confuse readers due to its complex explanations of properties like ionization energy, electronegativity, and atomic radii. The trends can vary among the transition metals, leading to misunderstandings about their behavior across periods and groups in the periodic table. Clarifying these trends involves recognizing both periodicity and specific exceptions in transition metal chemistry.

TL;DR Summary
Is this stackexchange.com answer bad?
There was a post on stackexchange.com explaining the trend in melting/boiling points of first series transition elements.

https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/4766/melting-and-boiling-points-of-transition-elements

The specific question was:
The melting and boiling points of transition elements increase from scandium (1530 ∘C1530 ∘C) to vanadium (1917 ∘C1917 ∘C). They increase because as we go across the group, we have more unpaired (free) electrons. But at chromium (1890 ∘C1890 ∘C) however, the melting point decreases even though it has more unpaired electrons than the previous atoms. Why does this happen?

Part of the answer I'm confused about is "In half-filled subshell configurations, there is a maximum in the effective nuclear charge felt by the electrons (compared to the previous elements with no doubly-occupied orbitals) combined with relatively low interorbital repulsions due to the Pauli exclusion principle. "

I don't see how this answers any part of the question. Is it because I'm not understanding it or is it just a bad answer?

I also disagree with it. It contradicts my knowledge. When you compare one row of elements with half-filled subshell configurations with "previous elements with no double-occupied orbital" you're also referring to the further up the current row elements whose valence electrons have less shielding and therefore higher effective nuclear charge.
