> "Why didn't we place an order?" "Because the computer decided not to and I have no idea why." This may or may not be a problem. Remember, human intuition evolved to be able to give a fast answer to any question in the face of insufficient data, not an optimal answer to specific questions with sufficient data. In many domains, once you have appropriate data and the means to statistically analyze it, an algorithm using such analysis can reliably outperform human experts - and in some cases, the problem was the political one of how to get the human experts to accept this, take their hands off the wheel and stop second-guessing the algorithm. In other words, if you are dealing with such a domain, you may be better off to count your blessings, let the computer do its job and save the humans for tasks that can't be handled by a formula.
