LLM apology cascade:

- That didn’t happen.

- And if it did, I’m really sorry.

- And if it was that bad, I truly apologise.

- And if it is a big deal, I understand and I’m sorry again.

- And if it’s my fault, I’ll try to do better.

- And if I meant it… I didn’t — but I’m still sorry.

That didn't happen.

And if it did, you formatted the prompt wrong.

And if you didn't, you poisoned the context.

And if you didn't, you exceeded the token limit.

And if you didn't, you're missing the right MCP server.

And if you're not, you're using too many MCP servers.

And if you're not, your temperature was wrong.

And if it wasn't, you should have used RAG.

And if you did, your embeddings weren't tuned.

And if they were, you used the wrong system prompt.

And if you didn't, you deserved it.

    Sounds like first decade or two of aviation, back when pilots were mostly looking at gauges and tweaking knobs to keep the engine running, and flying the plane was more of an afterthought.

      Sounds like spiritualism and ghost-hunting, such as the excuses made on behalf of the Cock Lane ghost in the 1760s.

      When nothing happened, Moore told the group the ghost would not come as they were making too much noise. He asked them to leave the room ...

      when a clergyman used a candle to look under the bed, the ghost "refused" to answer, Frazer claiming "she [the ghost] loving not light".
