You're straining very hard to make your position sound reasonable, but your assumption that I both can't verify the values of the winning combination and wouldn't verify those values is simply not true.

In the example I cited, verifying a ratio isn't the hard part. It's running the dozens of permutations (smart) or hundreds of permutations (naive) that an LLM can do in 90 seconds that saves me hours of boring work. It's actually so repetitive that I'm likely to have made the same kind of mistakes you're alluding to.

As always, I end with encouragement: if you want to do everything the long and hard way, I'm not here to change your mind. You will have to stop being upset that others are moving much faster than you, though. It's a choice.
