Being &quot;mechanical&quot; does not mean anything &quot;easy&quot;. It&#x27;s hard, nearly impossible, simply because the most formal definition of this process boils down to an exhaustive search in a huge (but finite) morphological box. That&#x27;s why we need the greatest minds that are able to find suitable search heuristics.<p>But yet, this process does not produce any <i>new</i> knowledge on its own. All the knowledge is there, in the data. Waiting to be extracted.
