What does this chapter argue?

Take the questions from real enquiries and calls, since the ones answered on the phone each week are the ones asked of AI systems at night. Pose each one plainly as a heading and open the answer with a direct, complete first sentence a system can quote. Depth beats volume. Answering across pages, videos, posts and interviews builds relevance and lets the answers corroborate each other.
