It argues that our understanding of neurons storing information in superposition was just a limitation of our tools and us thinking about it wrong. Instead most neurons initially specialize, and then branch out into related concepts. In addition, understanding one part of the network helps better understand other parts. And with agents we can scale this to understand non-trivial networks.

While, if true, this would more directly help with interpretability, a better understanding could also help with improving NNs in general.
