- flo_hu 7y agoExactly! I think that was part of the problem for many of the examples that turn out to not-really-work. People pretend they let the work do by an algorithm, but then hand-pick from a list of somewhat close candidates. Which of course happens with a hypothesis (and thereby desired outcome) in mind.
