Good points. It's the reason I almost never accept downgrades
suggested by Smart, except when I'm trying to get around some

immediately after - I have done it on one or two other occasions,
but for very special circumstances. As I mentioned earlier in
this thread, Smart always gives you an approval window where it
lists exactly what it intends to do before proceeding, and
there's a cancel button.
Claude, for a meaningful discussion on this subject you should post
what exactly smart is trying to do, best with --explain. Otherwise
we're hunting myths and noone is served by this, it just creates
hearsay arguments that some people like the software and others
don't. W/o details it cannot be analysed.
