Sure, there's no substitute for the human element. What daily reports provide is history. My memory isn't always perfect. :))<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 5, 2011 at 6:19 PM, Ken Causey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ken@kencausey.com">ken@kencausey.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I thought about mentioning automation because I don't really think it's<br>
a good idea in this case. What's important here is often tiny details<br>
and I know from experience that regularly emailed reports that are much<br>
the same all the time get very little scrutiny.<br>
<br>
The fact that you have to do something to get the information, I<br>
believe, causes you to look more closely.<br>
<br>
Also, my summary here is a bit simplistic since I gloss over the<br>
variations that occur when I think I have found something out of the<br>
norm. This happens regularly but it's rarely anything worthy of note<br>
once I look; but I have to look more closely to know. And how to look<br>
more closely varies considerably based on what is found.<br>
<br>
The human element is essential in my opinion, until we achieve hard AI<br>
goals anyway.<br>
