I dunno, in my limited use, Fable is MORE prone to phrasing quirks. I had it use, for real, the phrase "load-bearing for correctness" yesterday. It meant something about not needing a validation check because something else (the "load-bearing" part) was already checking it.
I do agree that it *feels* nicer and smarter to use.
I think the tension here is that phrasing like this actually helps keep the model aligned, which is why the training and RL converged on it. But it's so annoying to read!
repetition of "belt-and-suspenders" kills me with opus, especially because it always means the model is suppressing something I would want to be an actual failure
