The outputs of the system will reflect the choices that humans made about the inputs and processing. It makes a whole lot of sense to have humans taking a look at the outputs and making sure they are reasonable.

You obviously don't need humans reviewing the outputs of simple mechanisms, but as your mechanisms get more complex and opaque, the pretense that they are objective becomes ridiculous.
