These pedantic “when I saw X instead of Y I assumed Z” are the most annoying comments on this website. “From scratch” might be non-specific, but a fine phrasin

  No, they're not padentic or "anoying". Words have meaning. The more precise their use is, the clearer the communication becomes. Investing the time to properly learn pre-established termilology has tremendous value for everyone. Well, everyone but those who are too lazy and sloppy, and would rather just confuse everybody instead. I'm glad this disgusting sloppiness doesn't exist in more established fields. I hope people keep calling it out.

  It's valuable data sometimes. Those types of comments show you how other people perceived something. In this case my lens is colored by my interests; I've been thinking a lot on RL for LLMs and it slipped out here. For me I rely on phrases to quickly filter for (subjectively) interesting work. And assuming we value that subjective filtering of content, we make it easier for others to filter consistently when we use consistent language.
