From the "Hammering in a Screw" Department

A touching tale of an AI developer whose managers insisted that neural networks were the way to go for a project, despite all evidence indicating this was a profoundly bad idea. No doubt management had read some article about neural networks in Superficial Coverage of Technology Monthly and concluded that they, too, needed a piece of that somehow. Why can't managers leave implementation details to the people who, um, know something about implementation?
