Your argument is that superstition is the way of the future and technical rigor no longer applies.

Because that's what OP is talking about. Superstition presented as factual advice instead of the technically rigorous and scientific fact that already exists.

You're being downvoted because you don't understand this fact, or indeed understand what you're saying at all.

I'll spell it out for you: technically and scientifically rigorous facts do actually exist, even in regards to LLMs. We can, in fact, obtain scientific and objective facts about how LLMs perform. It can be rigorously proven that certain context habits affect certain tasks positively or negatively. Your argument is that none of this matters more than superstition. And you're surprised that arguing to a room full of engineers and scientists that science is dead and superstition is the one true way forward gives you negative response.

There aren't any good facts that exist regarding LLMs. It's a black box. Also, do not presume to know what I understand or don't understand from one comment.

You are a rude and crude individual. I am not interested in discussing anything further with you.
