my big problem with this tournament was that since watson didnt interpret actual speech, the system fed him a txt file with that question as soon as alex stated reading the question - this was unfair to the humans as with the power of watson im sure it had calculated its answer before trebek was even half way done with reading the question - im pretty sure they knew this as well b/c when they were doing the behind the scenes stuff they quickly glossed over the synchronization issues and just stated how the computer got the questions
