Works on interpretability tend to focus on the limitations of complex blackbox models. It is tempting to assume that simple models can achieve what black-box models cannot. This paper cautions against this temptation.

The functional form of a model is largely irrelevant. This does not mean that we should not prefer simple models when they are as accurate as their black-box counterparts, but we should rethink our...
