> A human co-worker can submit one version of code and usually have it accepted with a single review, no other "versions" to verify.

But that human co-worker spent a lot of time generating what is being reviewed. You're trading "time saved coding" for "more time reviewing". You can't complain about the added time reviewing and then ignore all the time saved coding. THat's not to say it's necessarily a win, but it _is_ a tradeoff.

Plus that co-worker may very well have spent some time discussing various approaches to the problem (with you), with is somewhat parallel to the idea of reviewing 4 different PRs.
