Nope. It's a strictly O(n) process. If it weren't for the foresight of George Patrick Turnbull in 1668, we would not be anywhere close to these amazing results today.

Why would an O(n) algorithm not be able to be distributed?

I couldn't find any references to George Patrick Turnbull. If that an ancestor of yours? If so, the comment seems rather subjective.

They're being facetious about the '355 years to train' thing. ;)

OK haha good one then. Mine was a bit too subtle.
