You are right that someone could go through that effort bat that only really makes sense if they give you some.idea how to use it.
Reading the exchange it seems like you got caught up on the illustrative examples the other person used. If a web server isn't a good example of a simple problem for F* the landing page should have an example of something that is. It shouldn't take going through that many steps to understand the so what.
Ok, what kinds of problems are they?
