If you want to be respectful, start by reading what has been sent to
you; the problems with your submission were well explained, more than
once.

To reiterate:

- Do not send LLM-generated material without marking it as such as
described in our developer documentation.

- Do not attempt to document systems that you do not, yourself,
understand; you have no hope of getting it right, and you will only
succeed in wasting the time of the people who have to review your
changes.

The point of documentation is to be informative, accurate, and useful;
simply filling in a bunch of words is not helpful to anybody.

Thanks,
