My model of JenniferRM isn’t of someone who wants to spam misrepresentations in the form of questions. In response to Dweomite’s comment below, they say:
It was a purposefully pointed and slightly unfair question. I didn’t predict that Duncan would be able to answer it well (though I hoped he would chill out give a good answer and then we could high five, or something).
If he answered in various bad ways (that I feared/predicted), then I was ready with secondary and tertiary criticisms.
My model of the model which which outputs words like these is that they’re very confident in their own understanding—viewing themself as a “teacher” rather than a student—and are trying to lead someone who they think doesn’t understand by the nose through a conversation which has been plotted out in advance.
