Those statements are mostly out of date and symptomatic of pre-agent-optimized LLMs. Opus 4.5 with clarifying rules in the CLAUDE.md does a good job at following idiomatic best practices in my experience.
That said, I'm mixed on agentic performance for data science work but it does a good job if you clearly give it the information it needs to solve the problem (e.g. for SQL, table schema and example data)

Plus they continue to introduce performance blunders. Crying wolves, on day maybe there will be a wolf and I may be the last of us to check whether that's true.
