No I'm not.
The amazingness of the computer figuring out Jeopardy answers has absolutely nothing to do with the ridiculous buzzer advantage.
These aren't mutually exclusive. Just because I don't think the buzzer thing is fair, doesn't mean I'm somehow unimpressed with the computer's ability to answer questions.
Frankly it boggles my mind how you even came to that conclusion. They have nothing to do with each other.

Same thing. Who said I wasn't impressed?
It doesn't make Watson's buzzer advantage any less true or any less prohobative to a fair game.
