Somewhat tangential, but a few years back Bedside Rounds did an episode on how some believed that a powerful enough database could replace a doctor's need to diagnose. There was some fruitful data that suggested a computer could out perform doctors, but as the project developed, further complications arose. Some thought the method was sound and the computing power was lacking. This was during the late sixties and early seventies, so the first AI wave.
