Well, ideally people will look at this and say there are clear tradeoffs, but I suspect many will just blame the algorithm.

This can happen and did happen before. Maybe being suspicious of an algorithm is not a bad things, we should have extremely high standards for them ! My hope is that some people will just have a better view of how complicated this problem is, and be able to construct their own opinion from there. And this would already be something I would be proud of!
