}Limitations and assumptions
This does not inspect prose or infer semantics from color, highlighting or bold type.
This evaluates supplied local information; it does not fetch a page or run a browser. Malformed requests produce input errors. A successfully evaluated request can still contain false flags, empty result lists or a result outside the supplied threshold; those outcomes have the meanings stated above.
