I conclude from this comment that the LLM's reader simulation was accurate in that reading "LLM told me that" would instantly make people bail out with "Ha you have no idea" thing.

Could've reworded that to not trigger this response, but then it would not have been accurate to my workflow, which is a higher goal in this case.

As it is now, it reflects the exact path of thinking that happened. Could've retconned that through the edit feature of course. There are no restrictions to that. But then it would be more "convincing" but less true to reality.

Beside that, neither "lecture someone" nor "who just made you aware of the topic that you are lecturing him about" is accurate, but it is accurate enough (storytelling and all) to again let the LLM run with it.
