Applies to humans as well :)

  There are many humans who are far more reliable than LLM's on a 99.9999% win streak.

    Yes, now generalize the theorem to any human to make it usable on a daily basis.

    That is, strangely, until those humans turn to a topic I know something about. Then their reliability drops like a hot potato. At least they get everything else right!

  Not at all. With human you can have some expectations based on context, expertise. They are also far less likely to make up extremely specific details.

    Sure. I was agreeing with the conclusion though, where you should aim to verify what you hear from other humans, no matter how confident they sound. Been burned by that a few times by blindly trusting some statements from some respected people only for it to blow up in production because they were wrong :).
