The fundamental failure mode in software development, where a lack of true understanding leads to incorrect outcomes, has persisted despite technological advancements. Ten years ago, this risk stemmed from human contractors who feigned comprehension. Today, the same underlying issue is amplified by AI models that confidently produce errors at an accelerated pace. The core problem remains the same: the inability to verify that an expressed understanding matches actual comprehension, a gap that increased speed has only made more critical to identify. AI
