You really don’t need to be a programmer to check for obvious bullshitery, you just need to read like four pages explaining what part means what there.
Now picture a different, more computer-curious plumber. He doesn’t hate computers, so he reads two pages on a wiki and now can at least spot when the url has changed or when the diff added some new step that wasn’t there before. You don’t need computer science degree to see that there is a new command that weren’t previously, and google that command.
I get why we need to do this but most people are not programmers either and probably don’t understand wtf they’re looking at.
While I understand some of what um looking at, when in just trying to get the updates over with its super annoying to review each aur pkgbuild.

I disagree.
Picture… I dunno, a plumber. Hates computers but he knows to click the thing to update.
