[NAGDU] The Osgood files

[Tami Jarvis]

That's interesting. At first blush, the very notion made my hair stand 
on end for some reason. On second thought, a computer evaluating the 
data without human emotional bias might reach reliable conclusions. 
Well, if the data is provided without human emotional bias. I dunno, it 
would be interesting to see what happens if they expand the experiment. 
I wonder if there's a fuller report published somewhere giving more 
details. The notion is intriguing for sure, but I'm not ready to jump 
for joy over a great new age of computerized guide dog selection.
