Yeah, that's simplified a bit. I trust a consensus among native speakers, not any random one of them. And of course there are areas like historical linguistics where misconceptions blossom.
But a corpus won't tell me whether this or that wording makes native speakers cringe, even or especially if they use it themselves too.

You have done, exactly, what this thread asked to do:
You have had your say.
Is this 23 pages really what you want for the forum?
If it's going to be like this, we're all just wasting our time and energy NOT learning languages. So
If you can contribute more than you can complain, you are welcome to help rebuild and make this a better place.
If not, than the forum’s fate is more of the same.
You can do better than this, HTLAL.
