I used to be more confident that Amazon knew what it was doing than I am now. Just as one personal example, the way Amazon constantly, and I do mean constantly, pitches to me things there's no chance in Hades I'd ever buy, even given how very much data they've gathered on my tastes and purchases over the years, indicates to me that much of what they're doing is sheer guesswork.
