Is the *learning algorithm* implemented correctly?
* [[A vote against spaced repetition]]
I worked hard, studying your website, and decided that your algorithm makes sense. Then, despite the warnings I had seen on the internet about your user interface, I decided to accept the problems, just to get the algorithm. After buying SM2004, I worked hard to figure out how to make it behave. Yes, I can make it work, but I think it should be "beta". I think it is irresponsible of you to sell it in its current state.  
* [[The algorithm does not work! Unethical!]]
The final straw for me is that I've lost faith that the all-important part, *the learning algorithm*, is implemented correctly.
