When the Development Set No Longer Matches Real User Data

If a bird-identification app is evaluated with a dev/test set made mostly of clear daytime photos of robins and finches, but actual users mostly upload dim phone photos of backyard birds at dusk, then the dev/test set does not reflect the data the system must handle in practice. That mismatch means performance on the dev/test set may give a misleading picture of real-world performance.
