I find that I learn to "trust" a model to get certain things right, as I would trust a colleague. So, as `expectation` increases, my prompting and context management gets sloppier.

`percieved_performance = actual_perf/expectation`

`expectation` is an increasing function over time.

`actual_perf` is a stochastic function of the model's true ability, context, etc. -> a recipe for some bad sessions.

As for multiple bad sessions in a row, this is a studied phenomenon in gambling where players perceive "runs" because our brains love to find patterns.
