edit: I suppose I have to spell this out.
"[...]" = "When its under your control, and [you're] no longer being forced to hold it wrong," ≈ "liberates your use cases from all the horribly opaque configuration, shadow prompting, etc."
and
"Almost like magic" is cliché hyperbole. It also means "not magic" in the same way that "almost like a dog" means "not a dog." It was immediately followed by the explicit clarification that was surgically omitted above, in absolute and conscious bad faith.
Hence, "[...]"

i omitted it because it doesnt change my point at all and it makes the quoted text smaller. not because of "absolute and conscious bad faith".
people can just read the original from the comment. its not like im quoting from a different website and trying to hide something. look 2 comments above mine and it is right there in full. anyone reading my comment would have seen the original comment already...
i have no idea why you took such offense to my comment, but you're reading way too much into it.

Incorrect. The omitted text doesn't change the relevant meaning of the quotation in the slightest. Why are you taking such offense?

There's no difference between these two statements in the relevant context of the article, which is specifically "long policy documents do not reliably govern agents", or the comments above, which are specifically addressing how that issue is not solved by local agents.
