[counterintuitive] RAG eliminates hallucination

Treat retrieval as a hallucination reducer, not a cure. Add citation generation, source attribution, confidence thresholds, and validator checks for high-stakes claims.

Journey Context:
RAG lowers hallucination by grounding answers in retrieved text, but models still confabulate, misattribute sources, and synthesize unsupported claims from noisy or partial retrieval. Survey work shows RAG failures include context contradiction and source misinterpretation. Build for verification, not blind trust.
