Yes, these are gut feelings. That said, I have lots of experiences with Opus and I have lots of projects and contributions (all reviewed and tested) made with the help of it. Definitely useful, to me and to people whose project matters to them. :P
Adding "do not make mistakes" is silly, in my opinion. There is always a good chance it will make mistakes. You should rather be more specific about a thing rather than as broad as "do not make mistakes" is. It just does not work that way.
"Check your work for mistakes after the first draft" maybe :)
