Because as complexity floor increases, it's "going to be correct" in hyper-specific, hyper-literal, insidious ways, with 10-50x more lines of code than necessary, and tens to hundreds of incredibly useless tests that give the illusion of quality, and cause cascading effects where seemingly irrelevant and orthogonal features that were once working end up breaking because of the agent's changes
