Wait, that doesn't even make sense.

How would reviewing something 100% accurate make you a robot? This isn’t like getting the balls and strikes called into your helmet. This is just being able to check your work. That would be like saying that the fact that the little red squiggly line shows up underneath a misspelling in Microsoft Word, the entire document must have been written by the computer.

No

It would turn robots into umpires. I hate when people get things backwards.
