Right but the difference is there is inertia you have to fight in an argument. By using /clear you remove all of the context that has built up to energize the argument from the LLM's side.

Look at it this way. I can either, keep trying to poke holes in the LLM's context with more prompts with no real guarantee that it won't be enough to remove the argument inertia that has built up in context on its side, or I can /clear and it is over in one turn because the inertia for the argument is all gone.

Back when I first started working with coding agents last year I fell into this arguing with the LLMs trap. I've found that it is a total waste of time because /clear ends the argument immediately. You don't even need to spend time trying to preempt it's views. Just re-prompt and 100% of the time, the LLM will just do the work.
