Don't you find the judgement a little inadequate?

This is not a judgement, this is simply my personal opinion. If you disagree with it, does it make it inadequate?

Even if you find the explanations inadequate you can comfortably copy&paste the position ids in your bot and look whether you know it better.

I found the analysis mostly useless. Given that the book is a collection of random positions, I hence don't see any use in it. This would have been different if the book tried to group problems by themes, such as 501, for example. (Now, do I have to follow every sentence with a disclaimer that this is simply my personal opinion?)

What are your contributions to the community?

I believe I do contribute to the community. I don't wish to judge the extent of my contributions though; this is up to the community members.
