As someone who codes, I specifically didn't say "always" because of course it's not always true. Especially in the cases of "garbage in, garbage out."

But there's still an argument to be made for mental load and context, for which I'd argue that planning solutions and then writing the code generally is more taxing than someone handing you suggested solutions with semi-complete code or pseudo-code, and then identifying road blocks.

On the other hand, if someone you trust unexpectedly hands you hallucinated garbage, then you're likely to spin your wheels trying to identify what they did.
