considering the Bieber / Wikipedia tainting affair happened a mere 24 hours before the Jeopardy episode, I have to wonder if people will start a knowledge poisoning assault on the places where Watson gets it's info. As demonstrated last night, Watson appears to afford undo respect to some pretty shaky sources. Can you envision that? Breaking the Bayesian filters on Watson by overwhelming it with gibberish? Where have we seen that before? My God, what hath IBM leashed on mankind? The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again...
