There are countless HCI studies showing the problem that you mentioned - any interface that requires full and immediate context 1/10000 times while being hands off otherwise will fail in real world use. This issue is so pronounced in mission critical systems that the problem is intentionally inverted, where the machine intervenes in the 1/10k scenarios and humans are in control the rest of the time - think flight control laws in aero or auto scram in nuclear engineering etc.
