How I pattern-match this post:
"Here is an unsolved problem from a domain I hold no expertise in. The fact it is not solved suggests that not enough effort is being applied to it. More effort should be applied to it. I am somehow more clever than the people in this domain for noticing this. After all, how hard could it be?"
Experience teaches me that the base rate for holding and expressing this sentiment, and being correct about it, is incredibly low.
Tell that to MetaMed.
That seems like a poor example. as well as a staggeringly untested one.
