What are some things that the popular online series "If the Emperor had a text to speech device" is correct about, despite being a comedy?

For example: Does Rogal Dorm actually talk and act like he does in TTS in actual lore? Like I said, I know it's supposed to be a comedy and not actual games workshop approved lore, but I was just curious.

TTS is generally a pisstake. Dorn's personality in TTS is flanderized to the extreme but Dorn was indeed level-headed and taciturn and didn't have much use for humour, but he wasn't as literal minded as he is portrayed in TTS.

TTS's description of the War in Heaven and the nature of the Chaos Gods is pretty spot on though. As is their description of the Space Wolves.

TTS isn't all that great in terms of learning about the 40k universe and lore, but I would say that, IMHO, it's one of the funniest things on the internet if you already know a lot of the 40k universe and lore.

Well, I'm obviously not using it for research purposes, though they do take on some aspects of lore in a comedic way.

The whole fall of the Eldar for example.

The fall of the Eldar is also pretty spot on TBFH.
