I mean, it's about context, isn't it?

Just like it's easier to be productive if you have a separate home office and couch, because of the differing psychological contexts, it's easier if you have a separate context for "just give me answers" and "actually teach me the thing".

Also, I don't know about you, but (as a professional) even though I actively try to learn the principals behind the code generated, I don't always want to spend the effort prompting the model away from the "just give me results with a simple explanation" personality I've cultivated. It'd be nice having a mode with that work done for me.
