I'm really put of reading ai-isms like "It quits working around the fourth time, and the average hides who it worked for"
This is classic Claude, and makes me think the author didn't read, edit, or invest in their own words.

The author's AI applied a thin layer of varnish to what is more or less handwaving. I think more people need to take an undergraduate level statistics course; the conclusions made are completely unsupported by the random trials.
Weighing six rocks a hundred times doesn't tell you the average weight of a mountain.

Great criticism. I should have examined the numbers and the experimental setup more closely before publishing. The signal is there - repetition does help but the exact quantitative conclusions are erroneous in this post.
That aside, I like the way it's put - "Weighing six rocks a hundred times doesn't tell you the average weight of a mountain".
