Powerpill

I'm using powerpill instead of pacman to update and/or install packages and I don't have any problem but just a question. From what I understand powerpill doesn't read /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist but it generates an internal list based on the parameters set in /etc/powerpill/powerpill.json in the reflector section, did I understand right? One more thing, is it possible to see this internally generated list or do you have to go completely on trust that it is generated correctly?

This is the only section of /etc/powerpill/powerpill.json that I changed:

  "reflector": {
    "args": [
      "--country",
      "de,fr",
      "--age",
      "12",
      "--protocol",
      "https",
      "--latest",
      "10"
    ]
  },
