When I find someone claiming a suspicious data analysis result I can ask them for the SQL and investigate it to see if there's a bug in it (or further investigate where the data being queried comes from). If the abstraction layer between LLM prompt and data back is removed, I'm left with (just like other LLM answers) some words but no way to know if they're correct.

1. How would the abstraction be removed? Language generation is what LLMs do; a language abstraction is what you are getting out, no matter what. There is no magic involved.

2. The language has to represent a valid computer program. That is as true of SQL as any other target. You can know that it is correct by reading it.
