What? Someone somewhere tried to do something and wasn't the most optimal possible solution? We should just ban their account honestly.

Comments like these are antithetical to a strong technical sharing community.

I agree. OP's comment could be quickly rewritten into something useful and just by changing the tone, for example:

"26.8% fewer search steps than standard A∗ search" For reference of prior art, it's slightly better than A*, which is far from SOTA on Sokoban (https://festival-solver.site/).

Especially considering the amount of trivial mainstream tech articles nowadays. It's cool to see more algorithmic topics.
