Usually at least here it's tens of thousands of laws like "replace article 3 paragraph 2 with:" and it's not like you can ctrl f "lemonade stand" and get something useful.

A strong llm without that knowledge can probably spend millions of tokens parsing every single ordinance and give you an answer if you directly ask about that.

But both a local human or an "all knowing" llm when you just tell it about the stand will be like "hmm wasn't there a law about low calorie beverages being tax exempt? Let me check" and after a very precise search come back with a tip that if you sell sugar free lemonade that's tax exempt.

I mean would you get an accountant from another country just because he can use search?
