This is an odd way to rationalize a tool refusing to follow user commands. No one would ever chalk up sed randomly skipping pattern matches to "anxiety". That would simply be a bug.
It's completely different from encoding a relationship between an emotion and what kind of language it tends to coincide with.
Would it make you feel better if the user said 'It'll make significant changes to how the code works. In the COT, it brings up explanations that resemble anxiety about copying code, and my suspicion is that this is the proximal cause of the changes it's making.' -- this is inarguably true, and very likely what the guy you're responding to meant.
That's the rough intent of putting the word "strict" into that sentence.
And beyond that the computation style is not turing-machine shaped, even remotely (although it's surely turing complete, but that doesn't mean the flavor is that of a turing machine)
