> These days we are trying to pretty much remove all of it (digitally) for "convenience" and "efficiency". Well, the same 'we' that push voting machines and other crap like locking government records up in proprietary software. I push for algorithms specifically because they're (as a written document) transparent. If a human has to judge a historical context you're never going to get repeatable results. But I want the system to be able to diagram, with weights, all the inputs that went into something before I'll trust an automated version.
