I think the prevailing political system is intentionally set up so that it is “nobody” or a low-level scapegoat. That’s the whole point of the system. Similar with corporate legal structure, corporate oversight and the way executive actors can avoid personal liability.
My overall point is that “explainability” is inherently subjective & situation-specific and whether a decision process “is explainable” has virtually nothing to do with the concept substrate it is made out of (e.g. “machine learning models” or “military chain of command” or “company policy” or “legal precedent” and so on...).
It’s about who successfully argues for control, nothing more.
