And then -stop me if you've heard this one before- there's the question of how accurate it really is to describe defending mom, or one's own self, against the violence of dad/stepdad/mom's boyfriend as "domestic violence" or "domestic homicide"

Knowing how this is officially counted in IL: agree that's likely Also the way this is tracked is extremely lazy and whimsical. Not to mention manipulation-prone, if someone wanted that Witness recent reports claiming sky-high increases in domestic homicide in IL based on highly sus recordkeeping

Like, you don't even know what basic functions it isn't capable of, much less WHY it isn't capable of doing them. Why would I believe that you have a clue about what legal tasks it could or couldn't perform?? That you understand the ethical issues? Get real

The point isn't that it routinely makes false claims, although ONE WOULD THINK THAT IS A HUGE DEAL IN THE PERSNICKETY ADVICE BIZ The point is: boosters seem to think they can just say...anything...and still be considered a subject matter expert if they say "it's inevitable" w/ enough condescension
