I think this distinction also gets at some issue with things like privacy and facial recognition. There’s the old approach of hanging a wanted poster and asking people to “call us if you see this guy”. Then there’s the new approach matching faces in a comprehensive database and camera networks. The later is just the perfect, efficient implementation of the former. But it’s… different somehow.
