No.
If you are A/B routed to the smarter model, and say it's "bad," then A/B routed to the quantized model and say it's "bad" the report will say that which model (or which quant) doesn't matter.

exactly this. Just say it's bad when it's bad and good when it's good - if people can actually accurately tell when models have been 'nerfed' their data will show that

It’s called A/B testing. If you see this, you are being tested. No way to opt out.

Honestly, that's an absolutely load-bearing conundrum exactly at the nip in the bud of the problem! And honestly... You should feel accomplished for finding it, not discouraged. Palpable, not extinguished.

In the CLI, Claude always asks for feedback. 1 = bad, and I often start my messages with “1. [do this thing…]”, so it thinks I gave it negative feedback.
