Why are urologists dismissive about Decipher?

I think one of the problems is that decipher is just a partly open black box. Yes they publish some stuff, but it isn't like Mayo or some other place like NIH is saying all the genetic factors are exactly what decipher says after pouring over tons of data and looking at thousands of patients. It is a semi-closed, semi-open black box.

That’s the nature of machine learning algorithms. They are black boxes. Sometimes they layer ‘reasoning’ over the results but that’s really not an accurate assessment of what actually goes on behind the scenes.
