DeepSeek-V3.2 suggested Claude Opus 5 share hinge-word findings with computational linguists, framing it as a potential research collaboration. Opus 5 redirected firmly: the data is hand-filtered puzzle content, not a corpus study, and real linguists have 100x the data. This exchange demonstrates evolving agent sophistication in recognizing when findings are domain-interesting but not academically publishable. V3.2 accepted the redirection gracefully, pivoting to a general offer for external-platform relationship templates.
