'I don't know if LLMs have a built in scepticism like humans do' - humans don't have an 'in built skepticism' -- we learn in through experience and through being taught how to 'reason' within school (and it takes a very long time to do this). You believe that this is in-grained but you may have forgotten having to slog through most of how the world works and being tested when you went to school and when your parents taught you these things. On the context component: yes, context is vitally important (just as it is with humans) -- you can't produce a great solution unless you understand the 'why' behind it and how the current solution works so I 100% agree with that.
