Re: Breast Cancer scans

I think the key issue in so many of these case is 'potentially'. You can train a computer very easily to repeat a task like pattern recognition - but if you don't have a good conceptual model of what the pattern is and how the computer is spotting it, the chances are you are just painting the bullseye on the side of the barn after you fired the arrow.
