Transcriptomics generates pathogenetic insights not obtainable by histology, but translation of these insights into diagnostic tests is not a trivial task. This opinion‐piece critically appraises declarative MMDx statements, such as the infallibility of machine learning algorithms, measurements of gene expression with >99% precision, and “unambiguous reclassifications” of contentious biopsies such as those with borderline change, polyomavirus nephropathy, chronic active T‐cell or mixed rejection, isolated intimal arteritis, and renal medullary pathology.
