PoC||GTFO, if it reproduces, it's valuable

In the history of Linux that I'm aware of (and I've been nose-deep in this stuff on and off for quite a while), these issues are almost never debugged because they're reproduced -- they're debugged because someone who actually understands the messy interactions of the code and hardware in question thinks about them.

A reproducer might not actually be useful because there is basically no way short of fancy hardware tracing to figure out what the reproducer is doing.

Then post whatever notes were fed into the AI instead. The verbosity and self-congratulating add negative value.

They have a PoC, we're arguing about the LLM-generated slop explanation of the PoC.
