Yeah I agree both with you and the ancestor. To get good results you basically have to provide the solution to the algorithm through great features. Then the choice of algorithm is not so important, as all the hard work is done in representation. So the algorithms are not magic, you have to drop the solution in front of them and all they do is find the optimal parameters for some trivial low dimensional separation manifold.
