"If I write this prompt this way, I'll get better results" is the equivalent of a gambler being superstitious about how people behave while the cards are being dealt, or in which order they press the buttons on a slot machine.

I realize this feels good to write and that's why people say it, but I can't help chuckling at seeing it combined with "stochastic parrot" in the same comment since the two descriptions are mutually exclusive...

With the disclaimer that I haven't tried to set up any kind of agent-to-agent messaging so it may be obvious to those who have, what's the reason I would want something like this rather than just letting agents communicate over some existing messaging protocol that has a CLI (like, I don't know, GPG email)?
