Fair, but not completely true. The Thailand examples gives a detailed reasoning. You can use those building blocks to check. If it says Thailand is a cold country and uses that in its argumentation, it's shaky. You don't have to be an expert climatologist to make this judgement.

It's not just one clean answer and we're done. In my experience it is helpful in breaking the problem down into stuff you can Google.

Yeah I can see that being useful. I’ve also seen a lot of non-technical people straight up accept whatever comes out of it, so that’s a little worrying. It’s true of Google searches too, of course, but at least a google search gives N results someone can check rather than 1.


They straight up accept until they discover first mistakes :)
