> Nobody says a system or product works a certain way and means the system while it's half built. "Bridges drop cars in the water!". Right.

To understand how an engine works, it's important to understand what a piston does as part of the engine.

You are conflating "half built" with "a piece of a system".

The model weights change as the model goes through the training process. They aren't stored after pre-training is done and other weights are put somewhere else. It's more like pottery - the thing changes. It's not correct to say something is soft and malleable because it once was.
