Watson's Solution?

Watson provides treatment suggestions for cancer patients.  Watson will be choosing investments for people--soon.  Watson this, Watson that.

So was THIS "Watson"??

...Passengers were told at the gate that the flight was overbooked and United, offering $400 and a hotel stay, was looking for one volunteer to take another flight to Louisville at 3 p.m. Monday. Passengers were allowed to board the flight, Bridges said, and once the flight was filled those on the plane were told that four people needed to give up their seats to stand-by United employees that needed to be in Louisville on Monday for a flight. Passengers were told that the flight would not take off until the United crew had seats, Bridges said, and the offer was increased to $800, but no one volunteered.

Then, she said, a manager came aboard the plane and said a computer would select four people to be taken off the flight.

 A couple was selected; they left.  Another man was selected, and he refused to leave.  That guy was an MD who had patients to see in a hospital.  He was DRAGGED OFF the flight.



S'pose Watson will pay the damage award?
