    I like it. Pure cold algorithms are much better than some America biased ranking magazines.

    Does it eliminate bias, or is bias built into the algorithm itself by the people who designed it, and it reflects their biases? Also, I've seen people go into the guts of the machine and tinker manually, taking points from some beneficiaries of robberies but not others. There are human hands at work which occasionally override the program.
