@avibryant I just think anytime you have a more or less similar kind of people doing any one thing there's going to be a bubble effect. -

@GarrettAdamPeck if you have an immense number of examples of subjective human judgement, you can surprisingly often extract a template, -
@GarrettAdamPeck which can be stupidly applied by a computer to simulate similar subjective judgements in the future - not perfectly, -
@GarrettAdamPeck but if the type of judgement is simple and structured enough, then enough to be useful. -
@GarrettAdamPeck objectivity don't enter into it. -
