An opening question to separate people who have “read the articles” from people who have “actually built one”.

The bad answer: “Multi-agent enables parallel processing, which improves system throughput and robustness.”

Every word of that is correct, but if you follow up with “so after splitting into two agents, did throughput actually double?”, they stall. The reality: inter-agent communication has overhead, coordination has complexity, and after the split total throughput may well drop. Adding agents is not like adding CPU cores.
