      In theory if the success rate is high enough, it will find more than most humans will. Edit: And as another poster said, this means they get to double dip by depreciating the asset and charging the customer for that wear.

      This is a lot more complicated than assuming that a machine will find things more consistently than a ~minimum wage employee, especially if the latter isn't motivated to screw you. (It's also far from the original point, which is purely about symmetry.)
