Bubblesort so dangerous. Not exactly the best headline, is it?

Presuming a sorted list gives an 'objective view' which you can act on directly, without needing to check context, interpretation, bias in your input, and unintended consequences of treating this sorted list as truth, is quite dangerous.

Whether that is done with bubblesort or not indeed does not matter. But thinking that acting based purely on data and data processing is a good idea, that sure as shit matters. In fact, it is a big mistake.

You clearly have not encountered the term “human sorting” eh?
