That's an odd question to ask, are you trying to say that because 
they haved failed at this in the past, that they always will? 
They are pretty good at working around problems these days. Here 
is what Gemini 2.5 Pro had to say (I including their "thinking"):

Considering Character Counts

I've been examining a straightforward string operation: counting 
'r' occurrences in "strawberry." Python code seems like the ideal 
approach here, and I'm currently leaning towards that solution 
for its simplicity and effectiveness.

Evaluating Code Solutions

I've determined that Python code is the most efficient method for 
this task. It's a direct computation, so a search wouldn't be 
useful. I'm focused now on crafting the Python code to count the 
'r's in "strawberry." The output should be the integer count.

Providing the Result

I've completed the code execution, and the final tally of "r"s in 
"strawberry" is in. The program functioned perfectly, confirming 
three occurrences. Now, I'm ready to share the accurate answer.

The word "strawberry" contains 3 'r's.
