Right? A bit like the Gervais princple. [0]

But in response, I like this HN comment on it. Do our best to be kind. [1]

Thanks for the Gervais article. Good one.

I wonder what happens when the 'clueless' layer is replaced by a clueless machine intelligence. I like the idea of the work-at-home folks talking to a sort of cartoon head on a screen about their bug list or how much time they spend on Facebook.

That doesn't mean it's not worth studying. Gravity is obvious as well, but if we stopped before Newton we'd have never gotten to Einstein.
