Here’s the proof :

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
