1:23:58>> now, >> there's not a lot of information >> about the post-processing, >> yes, >> of the data. There's a lot of information out there on the FIFA website about the 500 hertz, about the IMU, but at the end of the day, fundamentally, what is the data that I'm seeing on my TV that they're presenting as evidence? I don't know. Now, what the worst case scenario would be that there is an AI algorithm that is behind this, right? that has been trained on player touches, that has been trained on what to look for when I kick a ball, when a a hand

1:24:41feels a ball, when it hits my head, right? These are things that the AI algorithm would have been trained for. And perhaps the signature >> per chance >> per per chance per chance the signature of the ball hitting a wire >> is a very different signature in that IMU compared to hitting a human body because there's a springiness in us compared to like the wire. But I guess the wire also has a springiness. But like maybe maybe the timing is like small enough where like the algorithm thought it was just noise. It's like some type of thing, right? I'm just saying I I don't think this is a good way. >> It's not in the training data set. >> It Yeah, perhaps it's not in the

1:25:21training data set. And so now >> it gets filtered out. >> It gets filtered out because it thinks it's noise. >> Look, >> I don't know. >> I think so if you we we do know after our momentum match momentum video that there are folks who've worked on some of FIFA's uh graphics and and digital analytics tools that are displayed in game. We would love to actually understand yeah this question. It's it's in the weeds.
