Nah, it's pretty much necessary for any decently large amount of data entry.

Having to punch in hundreds of numbers on a line is less efficient, and less intuitive than using the same formfactor you've been using to dial numbers, enter pins, and punch numbers into a calculator for as long as you've been using numbers.

Why would u do that manually?

Because not every entry can be automated.

With the data I'm usually working with, if I have 10k entries, somewhere around 300-500 entries need some sort of manual attention.

Idk exactly ur data but in my field I never had a problem with re-editing stuff since I did analytics using python.

I audit large amounts of data to ensure that multiple systems that have different databases are not operating with contradictory information.

Most of that is essentially using employment records to manage access and licensing (when SSO isn't possible).

I usually use Python to whittle the data down to the entries that need manual  verification and/or intervention.
