If you say "the accuracy of an llm on task 1 is 90% [1]" and when you go to [1] it says the accuracy of an llm on task 1 is 50%, but some sources say with better prompts you can get to 90%, but when extended to a larger data-set for task 1, performance drops to 70%" then just quoting the highest number is mis-leading.
