I'm curious, if the year were 2011, would you be saying that all that 'deep learning' stuff of Hinton was just a load of malarkey? Because most people did. And then, 2012 happened and the world changed.
This is the problem when working on Hard Problems -- you cannot predict with certainty when your work will pay off (if ever...).
