I have a *lot* of those types of questions, and the machine is mostly good at answering them.

Not only is the machine answering my verifiable-answer questions, it is allowing interlocution when there is a mistake in that documentation in a way that typical projects are not. Even if they are in the same time-zone.

Sure, there are a lot of red-herrings, but then that has literally always been true.

The documentation is so often a red-herring that people used to advocate against commented code for that reason.
