In my last job I spent 6 months processing genetic data looking for patterns. I was being shown the ropes in Bioinformatics. But even then I wouldn't feel comfortable making such predictions. Or possibly because I now have an idea of the complexity involved.
Complexity may be a major hurdle to achieving safe, consistent, predicatable results. It may also be a major hurdle to making the process affordable and accessible.
It is not necessarily a nearly as serious a hurdle to achieving some significant but opportunistic results by those who are willing to gamble their own or other people’s health and safety in a processed too expensive to apply to but a few.
I think Hawkin is right. It is th second category we should fear.
