considering the Bieber / Wikipedia tainting affair happened a mere 24 hours 
before the Jeopardy episode, I have to wonder if people will start a 
knowledge poisoning assault on the places where Watson gets it's info. As 
demonstrated last night, Watson appears to afford undo respect to some 
pretty shaky sources. Can you envision that? Breaking the Bayesian filters 
on Watson by overwhelming it with gibberish? Where have we seen that before? 
My God, what hath IBM leashed on mankind? The Law of Unintended Consequences 
strikes again... (insert alarmist emoticon here)...
