What you might think is "common sense" may not be for others. There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without "common sense" may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.
Same as when people make fun of "obvious" research, there is value in having it peer reviewed as a reference for future researchers.
Oh yeah, because no one has "documented" that AI is bullshit yet...
Only the brave Cory Doctrow could gather and disseminate this to the masses!
