We do not explain how to read handwriting, we teach by example - and that is exactly how ML works.
And your last point is wrong. ML models are studied and understood much better than human reasoning.

Teaching children to read is an interactive process that has pretty much nothing in common with data steamrolling in modern machine learning.

Is that why new ANN architectures are almost universally constructed by trial and error?

But if you were to present handwriting as evidence in court, if the veracity of the evidence were in question, you would need to present an expert whose job it is to explain the methodology behind the analysis.
We explain how to understand handwriting to every single child that goes to school. It's not the answer you want, but it's the answer that actually matters here.
Trying to equivocate AI and human cognition in this way is completely disingenuous.
Human reasoning is not 100% reliable, but we know very well in which ways it's unreliable and how to deal with it. We have shared biology and millennia of experience trying to empathize and communicate with others.
