伯明翰大学的新研究发现，在大多数情况下，可能不需要使用区块链。

Blockchain technology may not be needed in many cases, according to new research from the University of Birmingham. The study, led by Dr. Joseph Preece, a computer scientist at the University of Birmingham, highlights potential drawbacks in the decision-making process regarding blockchain usage.

根据伯明翰大学的最新研究，在许多情况下可能不需要区块链技术。这项研究由伯明翰大学计算机科学家 Joseph Preece 博士领导，强调了区块链使用决策过程中的潜在缺陷。

In an interview with Tech Xplore, Preece explained that when businesses consider whether to implement blockchain, they often turn to Blockchain Decision Schemes (BDSs) for guidance. Preece particularly expressed concerns about the overwhelming number of Flow Chart BDSs (FC-BDSs) available to assist in determining the appropriateness of blockchain for their needs.

Preece 在接受 Tech Xplore 采访时解释说，当企业考虑是否实施区块链时，他们通常会向区块链决策方案（BDS）寻求指导。 Preece 特别对大量可用于帮助确定区块链是否适合其需求的流程图 BDS (FC-BDS) 表示担忧。

The study identified an “imbalance in recommendations towards avoiding blockchain usage versus employing it,” emphasizing the need for future FC-BDS developments to address this imbalance and provide a more equitable representation of scenarios where blockchain is needed.

该研究发现“避免使用区块链与使用区块链的建议之间存在不平衡”，强调未来 FC-BDS 开发需要解决这种不平衡问题，并为需要区块链的场景提供更公平的表示。

“[…] our research has found that there are an overwhelming number of FC-BDSs to choose from, of which many suffer from inherent biases one way or the other. Overall, these schemes tend to suggest avoiding blockchain, meaning that people are deciding to use blockchain when a different solution could be just as good, or even better.”
“[……]我们的研究发现，有大量的 FC-BDS 可供选择，其中许多都存在这样或那样的固有偏差。总的来说，这些方案倾向于建议避免区块链，这意味着当不同的解决方案可能同样好甚至更好时，人们决定使用区块链。”

While Preece admitted that blockchain is a “very powerful piece of technology and can be incredibly useful,” the computer scientist noted that currently, the tools used to help make decisions about its use “cannot be trusted to be as accurate as the advice of a domain expert.”

虽然 Preece 承认区块链是一项“非常强大的技术，并且非常有用”，但这位计算机科学家指出，目前，用于帮助做出有关其使用决策的工具“不能像专家的建议一样准确”。领域专家。”
