Hmm. That makes sense but then it makes my findings even more interesting. 
I've found a site where the locators just don't seem to work no matter 
what, at least when using Watir. It's https://www.vokal.io/.

If you try to use something like browser.link(text: "Services").click, it 
says:

"element located, but timed out after 30, seconds."

If I do the more generic element: browser.element(link_text: 
"Services").click, I get:

"timeout after 30 seconds." (So it just couldn't find it at all.)

The content isn't in an iframe or anything like that. So I don't think this 
is an issue with the context. And, in the first exasmple I showed above, it 
did say "element located" but timed out. It's not clear why it couldn't 
click the element.
