Automation just means your mistake goes many more places more quickly.
Not necessarily. The sort of failure you're talking about, Scott, is "user did the wrong thing", and sure, automation makes it easier for that to spread. Chris was, though, I think, suggesting automating around "user tries to do the right thing on disjoint devices, and fails *because they're disjoint*"; that is, clearly, a problem automation can help with.
