I think there's two ways to understand or to try to think about what you have just pointed out.
One is, look, if it's the case that simply by becoming superhuman at a coding competition, a model will not automatically become more tasteful
and exercise better judgment about how to improve your code base, well, then you should expand the suite of environments such that you're not just testing it on having the best performance in a coding competition.
It should also be able to make the best kind of application for X thing or Y thing or Z thing.
And another, maybe this is what you're hinting at, is to say, why should it be the case in the first place that...
