The entire thing that the ML fanboys need to figure out is the entire underlying logic of ML and statistical methods in general is that averages wash away quirks. In fact, that is their power and what people who traditionally deal with numbers know and use daily when we utilize averaging. So, ML and statistically derived math will work in the typical case but will not deal with exceptions well. This is why people (people whom I've found are NOT actual researchers) who are predicting we'll all be jobless by 2050 need to chill it out and realize the limits of current statistical methods.
