Many consider the changes in vaccine recommendation by the STIKO (german panel for vaccine recommendation) as a bad thing. Personally, I like that they are changing their opinion based on new data - what else should they do?

I agree, that it would not need to be 100% accurate. However, automation with low accuracy would induce other kinds of errors (e.g. complacency or loss of skill in doctors). Therefore, automation shouldbe significantly better than humans to justify their use.

This reminded me of the section about "Clutter" in the book "On writing well":
