I, for one, am willing to trade accuracy for speed. I'd rather have 10 iterations of poor replies which forces me to ask the right question than 1 reply which takes 10 times as long and _maybe_ is good, since it tries to reason about my poor question.

Personally I like asking coding agents a question and getting an answer back immediately. Systems like Junie that go off and research a bunch of irrelevant things than ask permission than do a lot more irrelevant research, ask more permission and such and then 15 minutes later give you a mountain of broken code are a waste of time if you ask me. (Even if you give permission in advance)
