I think Fredrik Johansson mentions something similar in this 
<https://fredrikj.net/blog/2022/04/things-i-would-like-to-see-in-a-computer-algebra-system/#section6>
 
blog post but I could be wrong:

> Good for inequalities
> This is a rather specific feature request. Any CAS will let me compute 
some terms of Stirling's series for Γ(z). How come I can't get a truncation 
of Stirling's series with an explicit error term? Analysis-oriented CASes 
are generally good at manipulating equalities and limits, but strangely 
poor at manipulating inequalities. This is bizarre since inequalities are 
at least as important as equalities in analysis!

This is the same sort of thing Terry Tao's blog post is about, right?
