Not all yeses mean the same thing.
Some are wholehearted.
Others are protective.
Some are simply tired.
Today surfaces how easily agreement can be mistaken for alignment.
Especially when speed, hierarchy, or politeness are involved.
Misalignment doesn’t always announce itself.
It shows up later—as friction, delay, or quiet withdrawal.
This is not about blame.
It’s about accuracy.
When alignment matters, agreement alone isn’t enough.
The difference is subtle—but costly when ignored.
