<p>These are different problems, with different sensitivity/selectivity (and fail modes)<p>It's one thing to identify a person from a database, another from camera 1, then camera 2 etc. My guess is the latter has a much lower false positive rate</p>

<p>I think he had a hunch, and maybe in his mathematic mind he got to the right answer by the wrong path<p>But yes had him not pointed it out maybe it would have been relegated to a mathematical curiosity or something<p>I think there's a deeper (but simpler) reason for it, besides the way Wiles proved it</p>

<p>It's not solving any actual problem besides "saving training cost" to make one aircraft feel like another one<p>It's like adding a device making a steering wheel harder to turn because people are used to that (with more details, of course, but that's the general idea)<p>Play stupid games, win stupid prizes<p>Ask Boeing how that "cost saving" went</p>

<p>Yeah I wouldn't call MCAS automation, and that was 99.9% not on the pilots (that 0.01% was because for good or bad Boeing did have a stab trim runway procedure in place - but even then that barely was enough for the trainwreck that MCAS was)</p>
