Agreed.

I forget where we ended up with this case. I thought you had to explicitly
use the "localhost" node if you wanted commands like start-instance to work
for instances on the same machine as the DAS.

Correct.
Well, you can use create-instance, but that will only create the config in
the DAS. You'll still need to go to the node and use create-local-instance.

Yes, it's weird that it's asymmetric, unless you think about how each
command is implemented. And yes, the documentation needs to make this
clear.
