yes, as mentioned, im well aware of how evals are done :) https://www.latent.space/p/benchmarks-101
As a more concrete example, imagine you're training an image classifier, and you have a bunch of ground truth human labeled images. If version X gets a 95% score on the image classification task, and version X+1 gets a 96% score, you're probably going to prefer model X+1 over model X even though there were some images labeled correctly by model X that weren't labeled correctly by model X+1. Obviously if you want you can give some tasks higher weight when you do the eval, but whatever you do you're going to have to deal with the fact that new models aren't always going to be strictly better at every task than the old model.
