As a Marketer, the point on 'machines' made me drift and think about the greatest machine in existence - the human mind.

Input = Years of experience & Output = a nagging feeling that tells you this idea is going to turn into a typhoon.

This is a good point. Insights from your experience often manifest themselves as gut/intuition.
