[research] Swapping similar entities, like attributing a quote to the wrong co-author or using the wrong API version's parameters

When dealing with highly similar entities, use RAG to inject disambiguating context explicitly. Prompt the model to compare and contrast the entities before answering, forcing attention to differentiating features.

Journey Context:
Models represent similar entities with closely clustered embeddings. During generation, the probability distributions for 'React.useEffect' and 'React.useLayoutEffect' overlap heavily, leading to attribute bleed-over. Simply asking 'What is X?' triggers the shared cluster. Forcing a comparative step \('How does X differ from Y?'\) shifts the activation away from the shared cluster to the distinct features.
