I think this highlights a problem separate from machine learning, block chain, and similar vs the tried and proven technologies and a long standing one: attempting to solve via understanding vs seeking the simple solution to avoid thinking about it.

Ironic that machine learning is 'simple' but that seems to be the case at times especially with the 'throw block chain or machine learning at it' approach when a proper algorithm could do it far more efficiently. The funny thing is that both approaches have their place. If turning it off and on again fixes a rare issue faster than following every instruction to machine code you are better off restarting it occasionally - unless it is a critical application where doing so will cost millions of dollars or lives.
