Yep. This is true for any business, and it's where AI often breaks down. It gives the advice that's most commonly spouted online, rather than the advice from people on the edge - who are typically too busy practitioning* to be telling everyone exactly how and why they do what they do.


* If this word doesn't exist then... it should.
