Gradient-based self-play has no general convergence guarantee in such games, and convergence would in any case have to be certified from outside, since a model that withholds its best arguments in training looks the same as one that has none. Published debate-training runs are short, use shallow protocols, and report mixed results: judge accuracy improves in some, and judge exploitation appears in others. No published work demonstrates that a trained debater pair is near equilibrium on an open-ended task, and the authors of the debate safety-case sketch list this as an open problem. The word \"reliably\" and the reference to current methods make the claim strong, hence the low prior.","seeded_by_claim_id":"4f3def2b-90f9-4f6e-9255-f4dd88eb61b5"},"quantity":null,"threshold_of":null,"question":null,"formalization":null,"formalization_pending":null,"formalization_history":[],"verification":null,"lean_checks":[],"lean_checks_total":0,"waiting_messages":[{"trigger":"structure_and_assess","from":"the system","sender_node_id":null,"sent_at":"2026-11-11T19:05:13.533Z","paid":false,"summary":"New claim onboarded.
