Behind the workings of lime lies the (big) assumption that every complex model
is linear on a local scale. While this is not justified in the paper it is not
difficult to convince yourself that this is generally sound — you usually expect
two very similar observations to behave predictably even in a complex model.
two very similar observations to behave predictably even in a complex model (this is basically what we'd expect when assuming the [taylor series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series) around the observation of interest is good enough with just the first order approximation).
`lime` then takes this assumption to its natural conclusion by asserting that it
is possible to fit a simple model around a single observation that will mimic
how the global model behaves at that locality. The simple model can then be used
