Very nice. 

Given the many emdashes in the text, can I ask if you used an LLM to write it? If so, which one?

And importantly, if an LLM was used (no issues there) did you ask a different model to double-check every statement it makes, just to be sure?

Thanks,

Roberto

Feedback welcome, of course!
