No, and I think undecideable is quite frequent.

Yes, and I think regulation should be quite strong in this regard.

For larger contexts I worry about agentic confabulation, but humans unquestionably look at the gestalt when doing matching. I don't want idiot clankers making enforced decisions because they have misunderstood one field.

If you can't do field validation on entry then I'm not sure deterministic rules work better, they may be worse, although easier to reason about.
But surely there are some deterministic reasons to clean up.
I personally wouldn’t lean towards LLMs on identity resolution. I would like give it the dataset and then ask me questions about specs? I really struggle to find the LLM part reasonable here. I mean potentially some typos, or nicknames, but those could be potentially resolved deterministically also.
I would probably have reviewer running that suggests new rules that I could implement. To me this seems more like compiler work than LLM work.
