That really is the load bearing seam, and it's worth stating plainly.
I realized I was spending most of my tokens arguing with Opus and trying to get it to let go of stupid, lazy, obviously incorrect premonitions. I wound up canceling my 200, bought a pair of Sparks, and am running full fat DS4 Flash and so much happier. Done with being at the whim of these companies.
EDIT: my honest opinion; Anthropic is building a person, whereas everybody else (it seems) is building a tool.
