Arguably RL has learnt something more general, ie what to do when encountering the plus operator, which can be applied or extrapolated to instances outside its training data.

Not familiar with the source that sparked this but take the context of SFT vs RL trying to learn the plus operator. SFT can conceivably rote learn every a + b = c, while RL could learn if a and b are numeric, put the sum after the = symbol.

Is it not about being able to validate a candidate response independent of any initial training data.

It actually sounds like you may be depressed

I block a lot of words like prominent names etc. it’s just not a conversation I can meaningfully contribute to or engage with
