The ultimate computer will only be as good as it’s data input.

I recall that the last ‘ultimate computer’ completely missed a one foot snow storm the very next day after it was put in service.

“National Hurricane Center in Miami-Dade County have achieved record accuracy in projecting the path of a storm”

“Record accuracy”? They’ve broken their own record? They’ve gotten better, one would expect, but this statement suggests NHC has it “down to a science”. Hardly.

I predict that we will have some hurricanes this year or maybe we won’t. I am 100% accurate.

The story neglected to mention that after processing the first data set, the computer concluded that Al Gore is an idiot.
