It’s fair to say that this story was not a great one from a journalistic integrity perspective. The facts were right but the conclusions were wrong and it still should be investigated.

No. Those white dudes at a boardroom level are 100% not messing with an algorithm that took years to develop and which is hugely complex and works really well.

I promise you they are, Seb. Just stop.

Oh well, as long as you promise.

It’s a complex algorithm not just something you can tinker with for fun.
