This is why I intensively avoid phrasing that invites affirmation. I present the scenario, the differing viewpoints and maybe a couple personal thoughts, and I try to make it compare and contrast to arrive at it's conclusion.

I'd like to know if my methods are effective. I'm certain they are at least to some extent.

I only ever see research being done about naive and "unskilled" prompting methods. Obviously that's the average user, but just because LLMs are doing poorly in a certain scenario doesn't mean the LLM couldn't excel in the scenario with better direction and prompting. So while it's useful research to be doing, it's a little annoying to only see focus on these examples of "look at how LLMs are bad or biased at this specific thing when prompted in the most straightforward naive way"
