One of my tenets is that creating tools that help people recognize patterns can create better results than creating an algorithm than cannot take into account all the parameters of a situation. Just like the saying “One picture is worth a thousand words”, you could say that ‘one person is worth a million lines of code’. An algorithm sees only a shadow, a projection of a few dimensions of the reality of a situation.
People are limited in dimensions they see also, but they can handle variation, and alter the dimensions they focus on in a matter of seconds or minutes, whereas a computer algorithm could take a year to code to do the same thing (if it can be coded at all).
