The local recovery is... but Gremlin thought INTERNET recovery was also on the
local drive:

 Snit:
   -----
   Or use Option-Command-R or Shift-Option-Command-R to start up from
   macOS Recovery over the internet.
   -----

Notice I was clear: "over the internet". Bit of a side issue but that was for
Intel based Macs. The process is different for the Apple Silicon based ones (I
can no longer say M-series because the new Neo does not have one!)

   That's the equ of quick boot for a PC, snit. It allows you to
   temporarily change the startup drive without changing the system
   configuration in UEFI or system BIOS if it's in legacy mode. I
   wasn't discussing quick boot, I was explaining (ad nausem) that
   your recovery mode is a hidden partition on the same internal
   hard disk as your OS lives.

I assure you that the "internet" is not a "hidden partition on the same
internal hard disk". LOL!
