I disagree.  You can capture subtleties of phrasing and meaning into a
handwritten and/or a hand-engraved score that a computer engraver can't
mimic because the information/understanding is just not there.  Computer
output tends to score better in a number of categories over manual work,
and score rather awful in categories you did not think of as being even
relevant because "nobody would do that".
