    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.

      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.

      You obviously haven’t seen me rubber duck debug.
