This discussion is mostly slowed down, but I wanted to say I was wrong in framing it as a non-contributing point when I should have just stated it was my opinion that the LLM was operating as intended and part of that intended design was taking verbal feedback into account, so verbal feedback was the right response. Opening with calling it a "semantic quibble" made it adversarial, and I don't intend to revisit the argument, just apologize for the wording.

I'd edit but then follow-up replies wouldn't tone-match.

Anyway! Good points regardless.
