Remora brings up an extremely important point - the blind acceptance of whatever the computer says because the "button pusher" mentality is willing to use a tool without understanding the underlying theory. This is dangerous, and it's a valid detractor to "computer only" diving. BUT - the people who will follow a computer blindly down an unreasonable alley are the very same people who will misread the table and follow *that* blindly when the result is unreasonable. And my experience tells me that the misread table is far, far more commonplace than the malfunctioning computer.
There is one advantage of sticking to the table, though... it's harder for the "button pusher" who misreads the table to sue himself than for the computer user to sue the computer manufacturer.
