Yeah, you are doing *more* calculations. Its still, "Take data, feed it
into formulas, get a correct result.", and you are still just taking
data from X, feeding it into Y, then into Z, to get the end result. You
want to built a machine to do that, find. You build an algorithm to do
that, its not part of the machine, nor is the machine... Oh, hell.
Forget it...
