A study on glioma segmentation shows MC-Dropout confidence estimates don't reliably catch quiet failures, where a model is wrong and calm about it. The broader caution generalizes well beyond medical imaging: calibrated confidence does not equal reliability in any high-stakes uncertainty-quantification deployment. If your agent's "confidence score" gates a real decision, this is your reminder that the score can be confidently wrong. (arXiv 2606.19300)
