An interesting treatise but I don’t fully agree with the statement that gathering data or stating a goal is easy. Getting quality data is arguably the hardest part of ML. Getting people to fully describe their intentions and all edge cases (“requirements”) in a clear manner is also the one of the hardest parts of software development - which is why things like agile exist. Maybe at the granular function or module level, but business requirements are not easy.
