> the real issue was our debate related to computer vision

Oof. I feel like computer vision is a particularly misunderstood field. In a way, it reminds me of statistics - I feel like people purposefully obfuscate things to make their results sound more impressive. The great thing about computer vision is you can almost immediately see through the smoke and mirrors - ask for a live demo. I'm amazed how many people refuse to show me a demo of something that is inherently meant to be viewed.
