You’ve subtly confused “less accurate” and “smarter” in your argument. In other words you’ve replaced the benchmark of representing the base data with the benchmark of reasoning score.

Then, you’ve asserted that was the original claim.

Sneaky! But that’s how “arguments” on HN are “won”.

No, I didn't confuse the two. There is not a formal definition of "smart", but if you're claiming that factual accuracy is unrelated to it, I can't imagine that that's in good faith.
