Man, everyone at work is going to be really bummed when I tell them that some guy on the internet has invalidated our empirical evidence of acceptable accuracy and performance with assumptions and appeals to authority.

I did not say it would not work, nor that it couldnt be acceptable performance for a given task.

Just that its peak performance is lower than an end to end model, and that if youre going to encourage model kit-bashing be clear how you communicate it, so people dont make human centipede architectures and wonder why feces is what comes out the end.

I was a very polite enough "some guy on the internet". Thank you.
