He who controls the data controls the learner. - @pmddomingos

One might suggest that the term 'model' is in fact an extremely bad choice of name for the concept of a collection of condensed post-training decision support data in the machine learning world, because it implies a faux-scientific air of objectivity, precision, peer review, and intelligibility for inspection that is entirely undue. IMHO better terminology would have been a new/clean term without conceptual baggage that included some recognition of its fundamental nature: computed/derived/one-way/known-fallible.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: off by one errors, cache invalidation and naming things. - Phil Karlton
