>So basically we have no way of counting trees from pictures? I mean it shouldn't be that hard, right?
Are you a programmer? Have you never had to deal with someone who thinks they're smarter than they are and thinks they know everything get pushy about the simplicity of doing things that are not as simple as they assume? I have, and I can't say I'm a fan of those conversations or the people who initiate them. Your comment feels a lot like that.
I didn't attack or criticized anyone specifically so no, I don't think I'm smarter than everyone else or knowing everything. I'm just expressing a genuine question as to how we ended up with such a miscalculation and whether there is software that could help in that direction.
Perhaps you need to chill down a bit. This isn't Reddit. We're all here to learn something.
I admit it's rare, but sometimes, with a fresh perspective, and not falling into believing something is best just because it's the way it's always done, what programmers do actually is needlessly complicated and difficult. Examples are the entire J2EE ecosystem from 10 years ago, forcing concepts into baroque relational DB models that don't fit, or XML.
