I'm not disagreeing, but this sort of reminds me of the olden days when computers were first being born. It was a common thing to hear a person espouse 'the machine only does what you tell it! Garbage in, garbage out!'
This sort of wisdom was the sure path to being a genius. If you recited it, it instantly made you smarter than everyone else in the room.
But, the decades since have surely (and sadly) proven that machines do in fact screw up all on their own. Computers are probably the worst of all. They look fine, but lose their shit without warning or recourse. Every person here has had a PC do something it shouldn't, all on its own.
