Wouldn't any algorithmic queries ultimately also be initiated by a human? Unless we're dealing Skynet, some human or group of humans would have had to come up with the question time consuming enough to require automated analysis, code up the algorithm to process the data, run the algorithm and ultimately review the results. Any violations should be able to be attributed to an actual human.

Not necessarily; assume you have a flow that comes in - it will be parsed for innumerable phrases phonemes etc - and in the case of voice it will be transcribed to text and stored, which will also be parsed for triggers. Thus, it is conceivable that every single ingress communications flow to the NSA is evaluated algorithmically - and not necessarily viewed/read/heard by a human. So while their statement of some N # of erroneous searches may happen - it is irreverent as 100% of all ingress comms are already being parsed at some level.
