[counterintuitive] Asking a single model to 'Act as a panel of experts debating' to get diverse perspectives

Use separate API calls with distinct, isolated system prompts for each perspective, then synthesize in a final call.

Journey Context:
Simulating a debate in one context window forces the model into a single latent state. The 'debate' is a monologue with hats, highly prone to groupthink and sycophancy to the user's implied preference. True adversarial diversity requires isolated context windows where agents cannot see each other's initial reasoning, preventing premature convergence.
