It's just the only way I know to get GPT-5 to not emit any thinking traces into its context, or at least not any of the user-facing ones.

With GPT-4.1 you don't have to include that part and get the same result, but that's only available via the API now AFAIK. I just want to see it spell the word without having the word in its context for it to work from.
