I agree. When people act with disbelief at the results of an algo they've made, they're either sincere, in which case they don't actually understand the thing they have built (which would suggest a lack of competence, which many are terrified to admit); or, they're lying, and attempting to absolve themselves of any responsibility for those outcomes. As soon it comes in contact with a human, you don't get to wipe your hands of the outcome if you dislike it. You have to own the successes and the failures.
