wouldn’t that have been a cleaner explanation than the sentence provided? books and videos, see model card. the redundant language is a smell whether the emitter wishes to acknowledge or not. the point still stands, the hot mess of a sentence didn’t need to be that way.

> …so petty and pedantic…

if nothing else, think of the language models that need to digest this. sure you can send in gobbledygook and get out plausibly sense, but why?

llms will push pedantry to the forefront. or suffer from it. who knows. have fun.



You've never decided to rewrite a sentence and forgot to check the entire sentence again after an incomplete refactoring? I'd say you're in the minority. This is a v1 draft on Arxiv. I don't expect the final paper to have that sentence.


hence the feedback.
