Small correction: proportional, not inversely proportional.
I mostly agree, but my tiny amount of interaction with the Apple forum, on rather technical matters, highlighted another factor: The specific macOS error messages I was researching were beyond useless and seemed to have thousands of unrelated possible causes and solutions. So I found thread after thread, some with many pages of posts, offering many different solutions that worked for some people and not for others.
apple is very secretive about errors, pretty much impossible to find out what they mean
