Sure.

While the structure of that was intentional, "its" output wasn't
actually unreviewed by me.

Normally I would indeed let it do the work, check it's got it right,
iterate a few times on what it's done and and then basically
*paraphrase* the final conclusion in my own words (and many *fewer*
words!).

This time I was just making the point by letting it obviously use its
own voice (and literally launch a mailto: URI with a fully-composed
reply).

It's a data point we can perhaps consider if we take another look at
the policy now we can really see its real-world effects. Or not, if we
don't want to.
