Article needs to be updated
I found this paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3694314/ It seems the authors worked with Theobald's 2010 dataset that he provided them and found some methodological flaws in his work (selection bias in the dataset, they argue the model should be tolerant of more random selection of input that doesn't favor one outcome in order to get a meaningful result). This article seems to treat the 2010 work as the last word on the matter, but it doesn't look like it's standing up too well to later scrutiny. This article should probably be updated, but I'm not knowledgable enough to do it correctly. Gigs (talk) 14:20, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
