Why it matters

Psychologists spent the last century learning how to measure something invisible and uncooperative: a human mind. AI evaluation, meanwhile, still scores like it is 1950. Count the right answers, treat every question as equal, trust the percentage (this is Classical Test Theory). We are sitting on decades of measurement

My takeaway: Stop Evaluating Models Like It's the 50s - Alejandro Vidal, Mindmakers is a model-evaluation signal. The practical read is to tie capability claims to evidence, launch criteria, and regression tests rather than relying on demos or benchmark headlines.
