Re: Too harsh

In case there are any who haven't heard of it, on the TV quiz show "Jeopardy", widely syndicated in the US, a software guy by the name of Ken Jennings compiled $2.5 million over 74 episodes (about 12 weeks) in 2004 and appeared on various "champions" episodes including the one featuring Watson vs. him and Brad Rutter, another big winner. Watson wiped the floor with them, possibly because besides its knowledge base, it might have had a head start on getting the "clue" to each "question".
