+At MongoDB, we underestand the power and prevalence of AI tools in software development. With that being said, many MongoDB libraries are foundational tools used in production systems worldwide. The nature of these libraries requires:
 
-- **Absolute correctness**: We have no margin for "generally right" code. Subtle bugs can cause data corruption, security vulnerabilities, or silent failures that only appear under specific conditions.
-
-- **Deep domain expertise**: MongoDB's wire protocol, BSON specification, connection pooling, authentication mechanisms, and concurrency patterns require an understanding that AI cannot reliably provide.
+- **Deep domain expertise**: MongoDB's wire protocol, BSON specification, connection pooling, authentication mechanisms, and concurrency patterns require an understanding that AI alone cannot substantiate.
 
 - **Long-term maintainability**: Contributors need to be able to explain *why* code is written a certain way, explain design decisions, and be available to iterate on their contributions.
