I must admit, that as a person who has written numerous computer  
algorithms,
I've always wondered where people thought impartial computer  
algorithms came
from.  Every computer algorithm I've known was designed by some human to
meet some specific goal.

Perhaps people are just discovering that computer algorithms are as
objective as news editors are.
