MoonL88537 points out that scoring 0 on deception-bench is bad, not good: a zero likely means the benchmark failed to probe anything, so "you are no longer measuring anything and the test is useless." A reminder to read benchmark scores against the test's mechanism rather than assuming lower is safer.
