What the source reports
The study asks what happens when an AI explanation hides its limits. People may fill in gaps and think the explanation proves too much. Explanation Navigator uses a chat to show those limits and correct false ideas. The paper says a review must ask what the explanation does not prove, not just whether it sounds right.
