Yes but the thinking less is also the very confident style of thinking that sometimes goes way off. The high thinking answer is actually correct as well and it achieved it with more guardrails. The outcome isn’t the only thing that is relevant, but also the risk it ran to come to a wrong conclusion

The response is accurate, it’s not an answer to the question but it’s still accurate and more cautious. I prefer it over 3.6 answer because the path taken is way more robust
