An agent can give a perfectly correct answer built on completely wrong company knowledge. The reasoning holds up. The citation is real. The document exists. And the number in it has been wrong since March.

This is the failure enterprises underestimate, because it does not look like a failure. No error. No refusal. No hedge. Retrieval worked, generation worked, and the system did exactly what you built it to do, on top of a corpus nobody owns.

Almost no one agrees on what that means — and the default implementation, a vector database that everything gets dumped into, produces agents that are confidently wrong about their own past.
