Yes, similar to why I flog my children for liking Toy Story : toys cannot move or talk, fools!

At one point these complaints stop being "this is too much to suspend my disbelief" and become "yes an opportunity to thinly veil my desire to seem smarter than everyone by pointing out every single insignificant mistake!".



I suspend disbelief, and I enjoy the show. I am just critical of how they chose this magic algorithm as the McGuffin. I guess it's easier to write as a justification for a billion-dollar profit possibility than trying to foresee the next social media revolution. That's fine. It comes down to what is writable, but the trade off here irks my technical sensibility.
