What if the author of the "reminder" was dumb and did not realize that 
AI and neural network cases sometimes end up in Tech Centers that are 
not on his short list (2100, 2600 and 3600).

Indeed it would be the Examiners in those other art units (the art units 
that do not receive such large numbers of AI/NN cases) that would most 
benefit from training and reminders.
