Disagree with everyone here: sourdough starter discard is actually great for pancakes

I keep seeing people on here trash starter discard, saying it makes flat, sad pancakes. Tried it anyway this past Sunday with my 5 day old discard from my kitchen in Austin. Mixed it with a bit of baking soda and an egg, no flour added. They came out fluffy and tangy, better than my usual buttermilk recipe. Maybe the issue is people are using discard that's too young or not balancing the acidity. Anyone else had success with discard that goes against the grain?
