Determining Model Number For Questions

In response to my inquiry, Help Owl support has stated, "if a model is not selected then our system auto-derives it from their description . . . over 99% accurate when it does so." I see a huge number of questions where this seems absolutely impossible [ex. https://isn.page.link/uu5h]--yet HelpOwl nevertheless supplies a model number. On what basis can it do so? Help Owl support insists there's no guesswork. I've followed up with Help Owl support without a reply.
