I don’t think the OP was actually seeking that information. Rather, they were using the question as a litmus test for whether or not the...

I'm pretty sure we're still on 5e because I updated the books on DDB without telling my players (who don't care about such things) and...

Yeah, regardless of whether it was a human or a machine that produced this article, it seems very likely to be based on assuming the...
