But then one mistake at the beginning and the user will be on a wrong
track during the whole bisect session, no? Unless you make absolutely
clear when making the "intelligent" decision what Git inferred, that is.

For something complex like bisect, I highly suspect that a tool that is
more intelligent than the end users (more precisely, a tool that it thinks
it is more intelligent) would hurt them more than it helps them.

Of course, that is only my claim ;-)
