To extend your Lego metaphor to the question of “is a lot of this irrelevant?“ Does your Lego model of a city need to have interior floors, furniture, and fixtures in order to satisfy your requirements? Perhaps in some cases, but not in most.

I provide this because it was the basis of this paper: "”Be Nice”: Wikipedia Norms for Supportive Communication" https://reagle.org/joseph/2010/06/reagle-nrhm-special-collab...

> Wikipedia is acknowledged to have been home to “some bitter disputes”. Indeed, conflict at Wikipedia is said to be “as addictive as cocaine”. Yet, such observations are not cynical commentary but motivation for a collection of social norms. These norms speak to the intentional stance and communicative behaviors Wikipedians should adopt when interacting with one another. In the following pages, I provide a survey of these norms on the English Wikipedia and argue they can be characterized as supportive based on Jack Gibb’s classic communication article “Defensive Communication”.

You might want to check out perplexity.AI. It has access to many of these models, and it’s trivial to switch models mid conversation and ask it to repeat itself, so that you can see the differences.
