This seems very doubtful to me. Do you have evidence?

only anecdotal evidence

with gemini 2.5 pro combined with a good https://docs.cursor.com/context/rules directory i've had consistently impressive quality code,

i spent quite some time crafting the .cursor directory though

i tried to be as exhaustive as possible in capturing the subtleties of our codebase and what our team considers good taste
