This is not surprising in the slightest. If you are filling out a bug report or other intake request for a team, do you generally follow a pre-defined template to ease their understanding and convey as holistic of information as desired/needed or do you wing it and hope for the best? After all, there are humans on the other side who need to understanding the context and your intent. Why would an LLM be any different in this regard?
