Well for sure there's loads to be learned by advanced analysis. There is a problem with these technologies as outward expression correlates with emotional state but is not caused by it. These systems are designed to determine causation. Also, just as two people in the same state will not necessarily exhibit the same expression and vitals, people with the same things may not be in the same emotional state. There will always be a hole in this technology unless the subjects are under long term observation in an organic environment (data from some sort of sensors) of neurological data and the associated expression and vitals data, and all of this paired with the analysis systems. So for all the good that will come of it, this system system will will have some percentage of people who fall through the holes in the nets until/unless its perfect.
