It would probably make me shudder if it delivered wrong result after wrong result... If it got quite good then I guess I'd be pretty excited about what it could do :-)
Likewise, Dr Bob would have to decide whether it delivered the correct or incorrect result (and thus the weightings / thresholds would need to be adjusted).
If you thought it wasn't correct when you went to confirm your post you could ignore it, of course. Like how the current system unnecessarily askerisks p*m p*ms.
You would only want to use it as a civility buddy if it didn't do too many false alarms. You would want it to be performing well before inflicting it on posters in that way.
But asterisking...
Asterisking could be a good place to start.
