That's a great point. There are a lot of things you can do to optimise things, and your suggestion is one of the lower hanging fruits.

I was trying to get across the point that today you can get a lot of benefit from minimal setup, even one that's vendor-agnostic. (The steps I outlined work for Codex out of the box, too.)

You're right to point out that the more you refine things, the more you'll get out of the tools. It used to be that you had to do a lot of refinements to start getting good results at all. Now, you can get a lot out of even a basic setup like I outlined, which is great for people who are new users -- or people who tried it before and weren't that impressed but are now giving it another try.
