That's fair, I had assumed they hadn't read the article at all ;) If they have, it would have been nice to know which parts of the problem definition the paper describes as "simple" they struggled with, otherwise I defau

Unfortunately, given the sheer magnitude of text on the internet, we need heuristics to gauge whether something is worth reading or not. For authors/blogs that I don't yet know, LLM-generated text is a clear anti-signal for me, a
