The lens of reductionism and an overemphasis on engineering becomes an Achilles heel for data science work. Instead, consider a “full stack” tracing from the point of data collection all the way out through inference. Finale Doshi-Velez, Been Kim (2017-02-28) ; see also the Domino blog article about TCAV. 2018-06-21).
