At least Einstein didn't just suddenly turn around and say:

But wait, this equation is too simple, I need to add more terms or it won't model the universe. Let me think about this again. I have 5 equations and I combined them and derived e=mc^2 but this is too simple. The universe is more complicated. Let's try a different derivation. I'll delete the wrong outputs first and then start from the input equations.

Let me think. I need to re-read the original equations and derive a more complex formula that describes the universe.

<Re-reads equation files>

Great, now I have the complete picture of what I need to do. Let me plan my approach. I'm ready. I have a detailed plan. Let me check some things first.

I need to read some extra files to understand what the variables are.

<Reads the lunch menu for the next day>

Perfect. Now I understand the problem fully, let me revise my plan.

<Writes plan file>

Okay I have written the plan. Do you accept?

<Yes>

Let's go. I'll start by creating a To Do list:

- [ ] Derive new equation from first principles making sure it's complex enough to describe reality.

- [ ] Go for lunch. When the server offers tuna, reject it because the notes say I don't like fish.

(You know what's really sad? I wrote that slop without using AI and without referring to anything...)
