Test the fuel pressure. A small leak at the fuel pressure regulator or at one of the internal lines could cause an idle problem.

Also check/clean the EGR valve. If it were leaking, it could cause a poor idle problem.

^^ meaning when you turn the key on,it should be 55-60 psi. Let it sit for 10 minutes. if it dropped below 50 then you found the issue.

It wasn't a dumb comment, it was correcting information that was in error given previously.
