Uses R and scikit-learn to show concrete failures: adding one outlier at (100,100) turns a 90% p-value random fit into a model with 98% R‑squared, a single mistaken Fahrenheit entry in a 700‑row bike dataset drops performance by 7% R‑squared, and a simple two‑feature rule explodes into a huge, unreadable decision tree. Calls Azure Cognitive Services to show image tags flip (guitar → dog, hidden apple ignored). Cites medical papers where metal tags and surgical marks make classifiers predict pneumonia or malignancy. black‑box models learn dataset quirks.
