And in fact that is what happened. The only times that humans beat Watson to the buzzer were when (A) Watson wasn't sure of the answer and thus held off or (B) Watson wasn't "ready" at the time Alex had finished reading the question, but the humans were.
How does that not fit with what you observed?

Stephen Colbert had a funny commentary on the game: "Does this mean the Democrats have achieved self-awareness?"

I am guessing Stephen Colbert is a Republican.
