Agents doing judgement-heavy work need a way to learn from the people whose judgement they are trying to approximate. 1. Principles beat rules, because rules overfit and principles transfer. 2. Agents need to learn how to learn, or feedback turns into brittle exceptions. 3. The feedback loop has to live where the team already works, or people stop participating.
