So now we've seen the end (or the beginning?) of the first interstellar war. I wonder how much more we'll see in the coming years?
Only 600 million years for a star system with planets to form and one or more civilisations to evolve, then discover and annihilate each other is quite a respectable feat!

The ability to host 65 terabytes of movies is insignificant compared to the power of the dark side ....

If the point of the article is mainly to awaken public perception about machine referees,
then sentences like "but the fact that the machine can also make mistakes should always be clear." don't help at all.
People should have at least the awareness that as long as they aren't broken and function as designed,
machines don't make mistakes. (A mistake being the same as 'producing output not in accordance with the input and the design specification' in this case).
Machines however, CAN be inaccurate and often this inaccuracy is part of the design specification.
Equating inaccuracy with "making mistakes" is as bad in misinforming the public as it is to maintain the aura of perfection that surrounds sophisticated machinery now.
