Yeah, I agree that if you learn a probabilistic model then you mostly have a difference in degree rather than difference in kind with respect to interpretability. It’s not super clear that the difference in degree is large or important (it seems like it could be, just not clear). And if you aren’t willing to learn a probabilistic model, then you are handicapping your system in a way that will probably eventually be a big deal.
