The problem is that the original statement is too black and white. We make tradeoffs based on costs and feasibility

"if the program underperforms compared to humans and starts making a large amount of errors, the human who set up the pipeline will be held accountable"

Like.. compared to one human? Or an army of a thousand humans tracking animals? There is no nuance at all. It's just unreasonable to make a blanket statement that humans always have to be accountable.

"If the program is responsible for a critical task .."

See how your statement has some nuance? and recognizes that some situations require more accountability and validation that others?
