The thing is, a lot of tasks don't require accuracy.

We force accuracy on them when we computerize them, because computers historically haven't handled ambiguity well. That demands the skill of 'programming' - interpreting fuzzy real world problems, making them precise enough to be modeled in a way that classical computing can handle, and making computer routines to help.

But the underlying problem humans are looking for a bicycle-for-the-mind to make easier often didn't start off 'precise' at all.
