I think a burger could be a structure and ingredient purist: it's the right shape and outer container (bread) with the right kind of filling (typically meats and veggies). But you could argue it either way
Brilliant and funny take on the subject. Much more enjoyable and thoughtful than my recent reading about how to evaluate the "accuracy" (and thus the legal admissibility as evidence ) of "judgments" made by "machine learning" trained AI programs. The epistemological question is the same - what makes a sandwich a sandwich? (Or an arrestee a flight risk who should be denied bond pending trial?) Are machines as good as human "experts" at such categorization ( and prognostication) decisions? Or are we training them to mimic human categorization and organizational biases? Interesting times in libraries and law courts.
I'm glad it resonated! The more I write about librarianship and the questions we ask here, the more I learn how these questions are applicable in many (if not most) fields. Another reader noted that you could swap rare book librarian with consultant and many of the ethical, practical, and labor questions remain consistent. It's increased my appreciation of how worthwhile these questions are.
Would a burger be equivalent to a chip butty using this diagram? Also, very easily accessible explanations!
