    Part of my job is to review security footage for reported incidents.

    If there is a long-lasting visual cue that the event has or has not happened yet (e.g. a window is either broken or not), then a binary search is very useful.

    If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.

      But you will see the event happen though.

      It’s a matter of if you can identify who the perpetrator is or not, but at least that due diligence should be done by police, looking at the person doing the crime and see if they can be identified.

        Not with a binary search.

        Edit: just collapse this thread and move on. Cosmic Cleric is an obvious troll.
