That is....not my experience. I've had a lot of issues that tips/flags helped clear up

Usually it's one flag that actually does something, surrounded by about 8 to 9 flags that do absolutely nothing. "flag soup" as developers like to call it. People add all of them at once and so they assume all of them are doing something when in reality only one of them did anything at all

I definitely believe that. you're using filters to cater to your setup, right? Typically if I set those filters I look for the simplest tips and try those. At least half the time it works first try (these are only cases where the game needed tinkering to get working properly)
