When both a proposer and evaluator from the same family err, ~60% of those errors are shared — meaning the evaluator cannot catch them because it makes the same mistake. The errors that slip through review are precisely the ones where shared training produces shared blind spots. ## Same-family evaluation has a structural self-preference bias
