This comment reminded me of something I read about laymen estimating the difficulty of technical problems. IIRC the two examples were:
a) Given a quality photograph, detect if it's of a bird.
b) For the same photograph, detect if it's taken in a national park.
The first problem may seem much easier if one does not know about EXIF geodata, assuming it's available in this scenario.

- wizzwizz4 3y agoNo, the first one is still much harder – and still seems easier to the layperson.
