Draft
A friend, who knows computer science better than I ever will, declined to comment on the usefulness and validity of machine learning to me. Actually, I had not asked him about that, at least I didnt think I did, but maybe I did without realizing it. Its quite possible. Anyway, he declined comment, sensibly pointing out that he was putting his energy into areas where he felt he had some understanding and intuitive feel for what was going on and what needed to be done.
One more time, I envy my friend's lifestyle. Out here in the so-called real world (it isnt very real, just not the world of academia) one has no choice but to have an opinion on this topic.
And speaking of the real world, I would tell anyone who wants to use "Machine Learning" in an application to be aware that you will need a lot of time and the ability to possibly fail, especially if this has to work as a useful application vs a proof of concept.
