Re: most data scientists wouldn't change their home page based on 516 data points: Out of curiosity, if you find that in 240 out of 261 small round blue cell tumors, your algorithm can make a better treatment decision than the pathologist, do you wait for more, or get the algorithm into trials ASAP?
