heh. shouldn't be a problem. I guess you're assuming infinite devtime 
available here. making a learning system, wether people share their 
"learnings" online or not has been discussed before, and just is a lot 
of work.

If it regularly happens that commercials have subtitles, or even worse 
that shows don't have them, while commercials do, this is a problem. Not 
necisseraly the end of the world.. The info can be taken into account in 
the big "look at everything and make the best guess" function, but 
subtitles being "flipped" would have a negative impact on accuracy for sure.
