Part of me sees Watson as a marketing gimmick. Statistically-driven medicine has been around, and effective, for decades but doctors don't trust it. Part of me thinks that Watson's future-cool AI patina makes it a "good tool" even when its efforts could probably have been replicated with a database, a short manual and a month of experience.
