Judging by its replies alone, not everyone considers it purposeless. And even though I know enough to use shell redirections correctly, I still found that comment insightful. This is why I still prefer human explanations over AI. It often contains information you didn't think you needed. HN is one of the sources of the gradually dwindling supply of such information.
