The LLM is just guessing and that's quite okay

    So!

    If I ask a human being to tell me how many Pigeon steps to the moon.

    He or she will no doubt consult NASA. To find out how many miles it is to the moon.

    https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/moon-distance/en/

    238,855 miles

    open python in the terminal:

    how many inches in one mile

    12 inches to a foot - 5,280 feet in a mile

    125280 = 63360

    how many inches to the moon

    238,855 63,360 = 15,133,852,800

    Then he or she will find out the size of your average pigeon step.

    lets say the average pigeon step is = 9 inches

    15,133,852,800/9

    there you go. 1,681,539,200.0 = pigeon steps to the moon

    Even a 10 year could do it

    But some poxy useless LLM just guesses.

    thats not OK.
