Just wait till she finds her insurance company or local government has wrong information and see how long it'll take to get a fix. Years ago, the bank which had my car loan got sold to another bank which got sold to another bank. When I finished paying off the loan, they sent documents I needed to the wrong address. I had moved to a different state and the bank had as well, and it took weeks to correct this. I actually had to contact the DMV at my former state and get them to send a letter to the new bank, which then released records, which then allowed me to update my DMV in in CA. I won't even get into the mistakes that Sallie Mae made on my student loan records, or how many times my health insurance provider screwed up.
Machines screw up, but humans screw up too, and sometimes getting the problem fixed in a bureaucracy takes even more effort. I don't think bureaucracies "refresh" their policies/procedures (algorithms) or data as fast as software companies do.
