In the US, there's a government shooting people in the streets, with jackbooted thugs operating with impunity in multiple cities, a leader who's started a war to try to drown our discussion of his pedophile tendencies, the highest court int he land has become nakedly partisan (and openly for sale), yet people are mad about the price of gas.

Humans also write endless amounts of convincing bullshit, and have done since time immemorial.

Humans also make mistakes and assumptions while reverse engineering, so it will always need more engineers to go through the results, test things
You have to be careful when you edit comments - you can be seen as editorialising, which can lose you protection against being liable for defamation in some jurisdictions. Probably not a huge issue for a small website, but now risk than I'd like to take
