Principlev1
When delegating to tools, verify outputs more aggressively
When delegating to tools, verify outputs more aggressively than when delegating to humans because tools lack judgment, cannot flag their own uncertainty, and produce errors with uniform confidence.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Automatic Fusion of Observation and Interpretation (humans fuse observation with interpretation—tools cannot), Illusion of Explanatory Depth (self-assessment unreliable until articulation—tools don't self-assess), and Agents are systems defined by perceiving their environment (agents perceive and act—tools act without perceiving in the human sense). The principle prescribes differential verification strategies based on the agent type's capabilities.
