Re: He's right and MIT says so

It's because of the MIT reports that this is being talked about by lawyers

The average middle aged lawyer thinks that computers and the people who program them are "godlike". They really don't get that computers are "literal" or understand "garbage in, garbage out"

I'm quite serious. They're frequently the most common proponents of "Computer says" and the idea of statistics showing otherwise - or that human twist things by selectively tweaking statistics inputs is alien to them.
