      One critical benefit of the rubber duck is that it doesn’t make things up.

      This is mechanically similar, I agree, but I think the rubber duck is still superior.

      And, I think this should be a “lightbulb” moment for people.

        You obviously haven’t seen me rubber duck debug.

        I disagree. The rubber duck does not propose alternatives, nor does it point out flaws.

        The flaws may be wrong, but then I have to justify it, which forces me to reconsider what I’ve written.

        It’s like having a script monkey that never took a CS class to bounce ideas off of.
