Well, I for one am non-rhetorically, legitimately curious about how well human sorters do.

  This question is predicated on the assumption that there are objective, codified criteria against which human sorting can be judged. That assumption is false. > "In Japan, each farm has its own classification standard and there's no industry standard." Right now the only question is "how closely can the machine approximate human sorting."

    Given humans can't be judged it stands to reason that you can just call the machine a human, and bada boom, you just saved a lot of money.

      Humans could be judged against each farm's reference human. In this farm's case, there is only the one human sorter. That reference human is the basis for comparison for the machine as well. The machine sucks at it right now.
