I don't see confidence factor being discussed in the PR for this project at all, even though it's always integral to machine learning.

@@muffy469 That's a problem with research generally speaking. Everything is perpetually 10 years away because that time estimate is short enough to keep investors interested and long enough to buy time until the next investing round. That's just the incentives we have in place in our capitalist system. I will propose that this problem for different. The research has been a passion project spanning decades and the research team is comprised of a seasoned time of experts. My hope is that the scroll prize contest yielded the results they need but I wouldn't expect to see a fully deciphered scroll anytime soon. It just depends what they found. I know they were able to decipher individual words so that strikes me as promising. So, I do feel that most lofty research projects are doomed to fail. The entire anti-aging community has been promising the moon and sky for decades and they haven't brought a single therapy to market.
