The human brain is exactly such an ensemble of algorithms, and look at all the cognitive biases we have[1]. That our brain was developed for foraging, hunting, and reproducing could explain why the code we write is so buggy.

Look I'm just kidding around. Every algorithm has its advocates, and the arguments get tedious after a while.
