Is the joke that it would probably work too? If you also add 3 days of no computer, phone or any other form of digital media?

A New Scientist cartoon for Christmas.

Caption: The days of one man making a list, checking it twice, and finding out who's naughty or nice, are long gone: today, all Father Christmas's behaviour/gift decisions are calculated by a quantum supercomputer.

Image: elf and reindeer scientists operate an enormous computer. On screen is a graph. The x-axis is labelled 'Behaviour' and is marked Very Naughty, Somewhat Naughty, Neutral, Somewhat Nice and Very nice. The y-axis is labelled 'Gifts' and is marked None, Few, Some, Many and Loads. A red line curves through the graph.ALT
