One easy way to make people who can’t solve the task for sandwiching is to take people who could solve the task and then give them insufficient time to solve it, or have them be uninformed of some relevant facts about the specific task they are trying to solve.
A simpler way to measure whether you are making progress towards sandwiching if you can’t go there directly is to look at whether you can get people to provide better supervision with your tool than without your tool, that is accomplishing more on the task.
Both of these approaches feel like they aren’t quite solving the whole problem, because ultimately we want systems that help humans supervise tasks where they haven’t developed the right concepts, or couldn’t understand them even with years of study.
