I think some of the optimism about scrutability might derive from reductionism. Like, if you’ve got a scrutable algorithm for maintaining a multilevel map, and you’ve got a scrutable model of the chemistry of a tire, you could pass through the multilevel model to find the higher-level description of the tire.
