I apologize for the confusion from my report. I intended it for people expert in their field with very little ML or DL expertise.
I am also guilty of focusing on my research but I am called upon frequently by others in DoD who are interested in applying DL to their problem. My report was an outgrowth of my consulting with these people who were interested in leveraging my expertise. I agree with jph00 who states he has seen non-ML experts successfully apply ML and get good results. So I wrote this report to give general/universal advice, even though it won't always apply and won't solve all their problems.
