Opponents argue from a maintainability perspective that behavioral equivalence does not equal understanding equivalence: the causal model needed for troubleshooting and the threat model needed for security audits cannot be derived solely from the fact that tests pass.

UnverifiedThe paper criticizes existing defense methods for either relying on the model's own behavioral performance or simply stopping after intercepting unsafe actions without helping the agent recover from errors.80% similarVerifiedCounterfactual evaluation faces a fundamental problem of causal inference: it is impossible to simultaneously observe the outcomes for the same individual under both intervention and non-intervention conditions.79% similarUnverifiedThe study points out a trade-off between safety and verisimilitude, where an overly broad definition of harmlessness makes models behave clumsily in adversarial scenarios.79% similarUnverifiedLoss moving in the expected direction is not sufficient to prove successful unlearning; safe behavior requires dedicated testing.79% similarUnverifiedElicitation-based capability auditing has fundamental limitations, and relying solely on behavioral black-box or white-box elicitation testing cannot provide reliable guarantees of model safety.78% similar
