I don't think it's worth continuing then. I have previously got into long discussions only for a follow-up to be something like "it can't have purpose it's a machine". I wanted to check things before responding and there being a small word based issue making it pointless. You have not been as clear in your comments as perhaps you think.

To be clear I think faking is a perfectly fine term to use regardless of whether you think these things are reasoning or pretending to do so.

I'm not sure if you have an issue there, or if you agree on that but don't think they're faking alignment, or if this is about the interview and other things said (I have been responding about "faking"), or if you have a more interesting issue with how well you think the paper supports faking alignment.

Have a good day.
