"Code" is absolutely the wrong word here. There's nothing executable about it.

It's a model. And it will inevitably be incomplete and out of data, because the map is not the territory[1]

Of course, the same is true about the unstructured documents he laments, and whatever is done with those documents could probably sped up a lot this way, probably enough to justify the cost of building and maintaining it.

But the more advanced use cases he imagines run a big risk of making very costly decisions based on an incomplete or outdated model.
