Sorry but I do not agree at all. First, the fact that they chose the same photo might not necessarily mean that photo is the "optimal choice" according to some algorithm: it can perfectly be a coincidence. I find it even more improbable that a tool that selects "the best photo of a bunch" is useful for a significant portion of the photographers (as in "it gives results according to their tastes") unless it takes into account only basic measures and they can use it in specific instances (e.g. find the photo with the best light exposure).

Well, obviously it does mean that; the photo was the optimal choice according to the two algorithms used by those photographers to choose their picture. Does that mean it would also be selected by another equally good or superior algorithm? No. But it does necessarily mean that the photo is the optimal choice according to two algorithms.
- ada1981 9y agoThe algorithm could simply be "randomly select an image from all the burst frames."
- thaumasiotes 9y agoTrue, but the image in question would trivially be optimal according to that algorithm, as it considers all images equal. If all images are equal, there is no image better than this image.
