XKCD comic, Cueball Prime stands with a paddle on top of a pile of stuff including a funnel labeled "data" and box labeled "answers". Cueball II: This is your machine learning system? - Yup! You pour the data into this big pile of linear algebra, then collect the answers on the other side. - What if the answers are wrong? - Just stir the pile until they start looking right.
