Open Letter to Pandora

Hey, Pandora.  When I skipped past Our Love is Better Than Chocolate, how did you know whether I meant “I have heard that song plenty enough times” vs “I generally dislike Sarah McLachlan?”  I do not trust that your algorithm understands the basis of my binary choice.

After my skipping that song, you are likely to decide that I should never hear Sarah again, which will be the wrong outcome.*  If nothing else, in your capitalist effort to provide a First World Solution, you will only have created a First World Problem.  Congratulations.
