• [x] Chris input needed I found it a bit confusing to start the defining explainability with a definition of interpretability and never having one general definition of explainability. https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/turing-commons/blob/ae9be6c2d85f0c27a1f5b1a0d91fb448c339c182/drafts/rri-skillstrack/rri-modules/root-files/rri-204-1.md?plain=1#L88

• [x] Chris input needed I also found this section a bit too abstract, perhaps an example might help clarify the point. https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/turing-commons/blob/ae9be6c2d85f0c27a1f5b1a0d91fb448c339c182/drafts/rri-skillstrack/rri-modules/root-files/rri-204-1.md?plain=1#L179

I've updated the draft to reflect these comments:

1) I've left the ordering of interpretability --> explainability as is, but made the structure clearer. 2) I've removed the (optional) admonition on pragmatic vs. epistemic considerations.

@chrisdburr Is this (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.07269.pdf) the Miller, 2017 cited quoted here: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/turing-commons/blob/9b25138ba268edd3393ab386553b34d19abd93cc/drafts/rri-skillstrack/rri-modules/root-files/rri-204-1.md?plain=1#L93
