Do you have any sort of data to support this, particularly the second claim? It seems particularly absurd to me.

The comments are the data?

I'm not really sure what your asking for.

Well I suppose you're making your own point.

You are helping me prove the point with conveniently placed examples, so thanks. But why embarrass yourself?

I think it's insulting to say that human opinion or observation is worthless because a small program with a neat dataset can answer a lot of questions.

It's like saying that talking with friends about history and engineering is boring because wikipedia has the answers.

Why did your mind immediately jump to 'worthless'?

Plenty of things in this world have some small value but are not noteworthy. In fact most conversations in daily life fall into that category.
