Would this be the same machine learning that was recently in the news for incorrectly identifying 28 lawmakers as people that had been charged with some crime? Maybe it is, and that's why it can't spot the fake reviews?

The 28 were incorrectly indetified, because they ran their tests using default settings, which aren't fit for such an use case.
