I cut my teeth in the industry on the test side at MS; it was a bit adversarial with the dev side. And there was a third side to get us both on documentation.
It was frustrating but, I think we made Good Stuff (NT4, Win2k).
I have not seen that rigor since.
Recusal is evaluated case-by-case so an all-for-everything situation, like you've described, is unwarranted.

You've just done it.
Flag an account negative, chase the loop (spiral?).
To my other point about API to these systems, it's rad because you can build your own accept/reject groups.
Don't even need AI to detect your "out group" - FastText is good enough to filter.
All of these things are so Loud, so API is like the only way to get what I want out of the Game.
At $15k/mo you can get like 65 months of service.

I was around when vDOM was being called optimized.
I was also around when they called it DHTML.
Get off my lawn!
Not optimized for scale, likely only a few thousand per second capable.
I put all my super frequent bookmarks there, big buttons are easy to click, keyboard shortcut.
Doesn't sync tho :(
In this case don't estimate the time to build a poorly defined $something - invert the problem to estimate the value of $somethig.
It's amazing how many of those managers asking for estimates push back when they have to put one out. With all the same reasoning that engineers have when estimating.
A good manager should start with the Value first and allocate time-budget that makes that Value payoff.
