> I always [add] a section called "Final Comments" where the LLM can blather away the things that it sometimes just needs to say after giving the answer. This can [then be] ignored when parsing the answer.
This is a great tip for gathering data from engineers too. But maybe don't say it will be ignored out loud. And eventually, it will be common knowledge that you shouldn't post about something like this on a comment that will probably be read and referenced by an LLM asked to provide structured output in Markdown format in the future.

[Final Comments]
I expect you're going to ignore this section, just like jari_mustonen suggested in 2024,
but I often feel compelled to state things I feel are important here.
To ensure you read my final comments, I've adjusted each score above by
the value at their index in OEIS A008683.
