Paper uses Elicit-powered semantic retrieval as explicit component to inject domain knowledge, demonstrating RAG as context engineering technique rather than generic tool.

The paper directly addresses how retrieval output composition affects LLM performance, identifying distractor quality as a critical RAG bottleneck beyond just retrieval ranking.

Asking an LLM a question without RAG is like asking someone to respond with the first thing that comes to mind, it just responds what it knows from training data an it may hallucinate. In the other ha
