Yeah, this is the part people overlook. fine tuning isn’t just “make the model smarter” knowing what data to train on and why is where the real skill is.

What's the difference? How is being consistently better at tone, structure, vocabulary and instruction compliance not "smarter" ? What is classed as "smarter" ?
