I don't believe that is comparable. 1. Modern algorithms started out as a cronjob (which already worked better than the alternative) 2. Advances in applying optimal control theory are well known, (mostly) deterministic and explainable. They are in no way comparable to the black box that is the current state of computer vision. 3. Their failure can be readily observed and compensated for, since the patient will definitely notice. The same cannot be said about imaging.
