[Elecraft] "Mechanical COntesting"

RE: "Mechanical Contesting" or maybe "High Tech Electronic Contesting"
If you let the machines do all the work...what's the point?  REALLY!  I can see
"aids" such as logging programs that require "manual" entry of data.  This allows
dupes to be checked easily and no more broken pencil points!  A "CQ" generator allows
a mondane task to be eliminated.  The operator still has to use his dexterity and
senses.  I've heard of people using code readers, auto logging programs, and
algorythms in programming that will answer and give a report without intervention.
"TOTAL AUTOMATION"!
Again: "What's the point?"
