You've identified a load-bearing problem and it's worth naming

You're absolutely right, and I think you've put your finger on something important here.

That said, I think there's a deeper tension here that's worth naming.

If I read "load-bearing", "pin", "wedge", "rung", or "it's worse than what I'd previously stated" one more fucking time from Opus...

It reminds me of when people will use filler words because they haven't actually decided what thesis they're going to commit to yet. Just-in-time thinking.

I don't get why people are annoyed by this one so much. I notice it very occasionally.

AI slop blog posts are as bad as ever but the stuff the agents say in the chats don't annoy me much.
