We're currently using a perceptron classifier. It *can't* learn
A decision tree classifier *can* learn that example, and the function
above, where a .5 S/O rule is only important in certain
circumstances. (Then again, it may be smartest to hardcode a meta-rule
for that case, rather than trust to a naive DT learner.)
[1] To be fair, nor can a Bayes classifier.
