> I'm not exactly sure how VAM works, but I'm skeptical that an algorithm can model something so complex.
And even if it could, should an algorithm like this be obscured from view? Should we rely on "black box" algorithms like this, or should we at least insist that, if not the code, the research behind the code be released openly so that it can be held to proper scrutiny?
