Side-by-side verdict
Unchecked smooth version vs. taste-preserving merge - which still sounds like me?
What this is not
- Not “make it more professional” without criteria
- Not permission to invent anecdotes for flow
- Not a replacement for disclosure when assistance was appreciable
- Not proof that smoother equals better
