This seems pretty false to me. You yourself give some counterexamples later.
Hmh, I don’t think so.
As in, my argument is simply that it might not be worth groking through the data and the explanation is a poorly defined concept which we don’t have even about human-made understanding.
I’d never claim that it’s impossible for me to know a specific about the outputs of an algorithm I have full data about, after all, I could just run it and see what the specific output I care about it. The edge case would come when I can’t run the algorithm due to computing power limitations, but someone else can by having much more compute than me. In which case the problem becomes one of trying to infer things about the output without running the algorithm itself (which could be construed as similar to the explanation problem, maybe, if I twist my head at a weird angle)
Anyway, I can see your point here but I can see it from a linguistic perspective, as in, we seem to use similar terms with slightly different meanings and this leads me to not quite understanding your reasoning here (and I assume the feeling is mutual). I will try to read this again later and see if I can formulate a reply, but for now I’m unable to put my hand on what those linguistic differences are, and I find that rather frustrating on a personal level :/
