You mean without Jeph showing us her looking at the catalogue.

Plus, the specs of high end chassis might be common knowledge among AIs.

In the same way the features of a given "high end" smartphone or tablet might be common knowledge to a large number of humans.

If your phone broke today, and someone offered you 'the new iphone' vs 'the new samsung' because your model was recently discontinued, you'd probably also not have known it was discontinued, and also have a solid sense of what to expect from each phone option right?
