My thought based on some of the responses is that they seem auto-generated,
then tweaked - so not a bot per-se, but verging on it.

But OTOH, it can also be explained away entirely by (as you previously
noted) the Dunning-Kruger effect, with the same uninformed responses
trotted out to everything. Not necessarily a troll as I injudiciously
claimed in my previous post (I'd just woken up after 4 hours sleep - my
apologies to the list).

Anyway, not going to get sucked into this bottomless hole.
