This was a really interesting conversation, and I learned a lot from your thoughts and everyone else's on this thread.

As I said up top:

I totally believe you when you say that you have not found these tools to be net useful. I suspect our different perceptions probably come from a whole bunch of things that are hard to transmit over a discussion like this. And maybe factors we're not even aware of -- I am benefiting from a lot of investment my company has made into all of the harness around this.

But I do pretty strongly believe that I'm not hallucinating how well it's all working in my specific context.
