I agree. However, when those methods/algorithms are closely held,
there needs to be a high level of human involvement or a level of
bonding, to prevent abuse (and false positives).

We spoke about an acceptable level of false positives in today's call
a little bit. It might not be politically correct to say so, but
there's also an acceptable level of crime in this world -- it's the
price we pay to not live in a police state.
