Point taken, and having seen published phone numbers for various specialty IRS attorneys I did actually think about making a quip to that effect. Furthermore, the IRC itself is more understandable than Google's (et al) "AI"-dartboards.

But the comparison is still appropriate due to the sheer gravity of both situations. If your issue hadn't been worked out over the phone (say it required more subjective interpretation), you likely would have hired someone. Nobody wants to get walked on by an 800lb gorilla.
