@osi Looks like is going ethically in the wrong direction.

Just because is hard, it doesn’t equal ”useless”.

”One group member pointed out that “attribution” for a dataset might result in a 300-million page PDF. “Completely useless. It would compress well, because most of it would be redundant.””

Yeah. Most, but not all, and you can’t know which because you can’t figure our whose is going to get in advance.

Bullish nerds being bull.

@gimulnautti the comment you quoted doesn't say it's **hard**. It says it's **may** not be useful. The discussion is not over, that was only the first meeting.

@osi Thank you for reading my comment. I realise now I did use harsh language and I apologise.

But to get to the point, I tried to offer a statement not a quote. Making reliable attribution is much more difficult than making models. This was stated from a technology perspective.

If you read my articles in the other thread, I offer some reasons there to keep attribution around, even though right now it might seem like just another piece of redundant data.

Hope to talk to u again
