I'm a new user and would appreciate any help making ChatGPT 5.1 answer my questions honestly and logical. I just want to learn, not have history "smoothed" to be less offensive.

“Use Issue/Rule/Analysis/Conclusion for analytical topics. Be brutally honest—no smoothing, PR tone, or milquetoast hedging.”
