Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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:
