Mark-

I too am interested in what you have to say.
I completely agree with "confidence-level" of 
your chosen system.


However, my only comment to the employee scenario
would be, yes, no one particular employee is perfect.
But, by definition humans are discretionary creatures.
Whereas, a system, is more robotic, or at least should
be in my opinion. 

I suppose if your system is a neuralnet thats a
different story..  ;-)


in any case speak on...
