Every vendor swears a person reviewed the decision. Almost none of them can show you when, who, or what that person actually saw. Until the loop is recorded, the human is a rumour.
"Human in the loop" has become the most overused phrase in artificial intelligence governance, and one of the least examined. I argue that an oversight claim with no signed, timestamped record is not oversight at all. It is a story you tell after the fact. The fix is not more policy. It is evidence that survives contact with a lawyer, a regulator, and an adversary.
