Wisdom Infrastructure · Card 04 of 10
Rememberedisn'ttrue
A system recalling something is not evidence it happened. Recall and verification are different acts, and only one of them counts.
The reasoning
A system — or a person — recalling something confidently doesn't verify that it's accurate. Confidence and correctness come from different mechanisms. Only one of them can actually be checked.
In practice
An AI assistant is asked whether a client's paperwork was signed off, and answers yes without hesitation. It's working from an old summary. The paperwork was never completed.
