Vision-language-action systems can still miss the next action chunk

The post argues that a fresh frame can still miss the next action chunk in a vision-language-action system.
Main point
- If you change the object just before an action boundary and repeat just after it, the system may behave differently depending on whether the next decision was already committed.
- A final success flag can hide this one-chunk delay, because both runs may still complete the task.
- The LingBot-VA 2.0 report is cited as saying new observations update the cache between action chunks.
Why it matters
The author suggests that to understand latency you need to align physical change, frame capture, model receipt, chunk commit, and the first changed action on the same clock. Even then, these measurements do not prove safety or generalization.
