Can we have one thread about Claude without people trying to shovel Caveman?

Much of the token usage is in reasoning, exploring, and code generation rather than outputs to the user.

Does making Claude sound like a caveman actually move the needle on costs? I am not sure anymore whether people are serious about this.

To me, caveman sounds bad and is not as easy to understand compared to normal English.
