PT & PV are just the beginning... of the end

It strikes me that poker software like poker tracker and poker view may be extremely dangerous to online poker. Eventually, these things will evolve into software that just comes right out and tells you whether to fold, call or raise. The next evolution would just be a bunch of poker bots playing tight, aggressive poker without any emotion. When this happens, the online poker industry will die within months because no one can survive in that world for long, certainly not any of the sheep. If it were up to me, hand history would not be available to players. All this software designed to observe your opponents for you may eventually kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
