No, that is exactly GP's complaint. Their whole point is that OP has written things like "we throw everything at a model and hope it gives us what we imagined, without ever having to understand how any of it actually works" when the honest statement would be "I throw everything at a model and hope it gives me what I imagined, without ever having to understand how any of it actually works".
- Xirdus 2mo agoYes I understand the complaint. It's just that "royal we" means something else.
- lmm 2mo agoTalking about the "royal we" is a correct, established (if somewhat sarcastic) way to complain about this kind of usage. It highlights the presumptiveness of the author in their use of "we".
- BeetleB 2mo agoI'm pretty sure the author intended it as a regular "we".
- litoE 2mo agoThere's also the wifely we, meaning "you", as in "we need to take out the trash."
- PyWoody 2mo agoMy dad's reply to that was always, "We? What, do you have a mouse in your pocket?"
- latexr 2mo ago> "We? What, do you have a mouse in your pocket?" Suggested response: “I do, but the poor thing is not strong enough. No no, I meant one of us needs to do it. Please do go ahead, if you don’t mind, as I’m a bit busy feeding the mouse.”
