The Bart Test - Part 7: The Social Cost I Didn't See Coming

After analyzing Experiment 04's results in [Part 6](/blog/bart-test-part-6-the-american-ninja-warrior-problem), I designed Experiment 05 to test a hypothesis: Would tighter constraints improve differentiation, or make the test too easy?

I ran [Experiment 05](https://github.com/bart-mosaicmeshai/bart-test/tree/main/results/05_final_outputs). Printed the [evaluation sheets](https://github.com/bart-mosaicmeshai/bart-test/tree/main/evaluation_sheets/20251230). And prepared to find out.

Then I hit a wall I hadn't anticipated.

One judge was going to fill it out the next day and ask her friend to help. Then this judge told me: "[Friend] hates AI, so I reconsidered asking them."

The second judge was very clear: "Don't ask my friends to help with this!"
