"How would it be useful to me, if I spent my time scrutinizing and debugging the code output by the tool?"

How would it be useful to me, if I spent my time scrutinizing and debugging code put out by myself? ------

Small point: I'd much rather debug errors I introduced than ones a program did. If I made the errors, they will have a familiarity about them - "oh, I always misspell that," or "I wasn't paying attention there." I can't predict how a program might get it wrong.



I'd much rather debug errors I didn't write myself, they are much easier to find. I find that code I wrote (often) scans the way I intended to write it, not the way I wrote it.
