No, they explained what it is supposed to do and made invalid
assumptions.  Their point seems to be that it could be useful for
instances when the logged output of mcelog helps you to figure out what
might be wrong with your hardware.  I agree with that, yet my points
that I'm better off fixing the hardware right away rather than going to
the lengths that I'd have to go to to figure out what the logged output
is in case the hardware is too badly broken to obtain the logged output
and that, in case the hardware isn't broken that badly, I might still be
able to run mcelog to get useful output, remain.

If I did, I wouldn't have asked.  Where's your argument here?  Are you
trying to say that when I'm left with badly broken hardware, I'd be
better off going to lengths to retrieve logfiles --- which might tell me
nothing --- rather than fixing the hardware right away so there would be
a reason to keep mcelog running?  If so, why or how would that be?

I don't know what your problem is.

I've done that with a few.  Do you have any in particular in mind?  I
probably didn't find all the things I might not need.
