Jennings knew most of the answers, the computer just rang in faster, so what? Remember, you can't ring in until he reads the question, so it's not even like Watson knew the answer first, he's just quicker pressing a buzzer- I'm unimpressed It was sooo boring.

As soon as I saw "Toronto????" as its answer, I was sure Trebek would crack a joke, as much as I was sure that a room full of 200 computer geeks at IBM groaned with what a miserable and utter "FAIL!" that answer that was. If "Watson" could get "Toronto" wrong, I don't have a lot of confidence about it diagnosing any disease of mine, as the IBM infomercial was suggesting. I thought the same thing, Alan.
