Indeed, and a lot of humans are very bad at it, as is clear from the comments I'm responding to. This is your idea of "conversing curiously" and "editing out swipes," I suppose. I've had this argument too many times ... it never goes anywhere. So I won't respond again ... over and out. A real reasoning entity might pause for self-examination here. Maybe run its chain of thought for a few more iterations, or spend some tokens calling research tools. Just to probe the apparent mismatch between its own priors and those of "a lot of humans," most of whom are not, in fact, morons.
