First, some form of behavioural testing survives in all four, including the certified-verification ones — even a fully trusted interpretability method would still need red-teaming to catch failure modes it was not built to look for, exactly as no technique in the debate-and-oversight family claims to replace evaluation outright [ 2 , 4 ] . Verification adds a floor; it does not remove the need to keep testing above it. Second, the split between scalable oversight and interpretability as two distinct techniques is a narrower, more separable engineering detail…
