I have no objection to them selling a working technology but they knew Watson was pure snake oil and did it anyway. Same as Theranos.

- ApolloFortyNine 8y agoIf people require 100% accuracy out of the gate from any software then we might as well give up now. It's not as if doctors get it right all the time, if you know anyone with medical issues they've likely heard different opinions from different doctors themselves. Anything more complicated then a broken bone seems to get mixed responses about what should be done, or even what the cause of the complication is in the first place.
