This. No matter how much we improve our automated analyses, humans still have to not only be in the loop, but control it. It might be interesting to find out if building your pick list strictly on OPR is better than just picking the highest-ranked available robot. I'm pretty sure it is, but without some actual, numerical, analysis I won't say that I believe it.

Preposterous! This is
1114; they're not wasting time practicing with humans to stand in for Karthik's thumbs. They're
building something.
