In the late 1970s (I was a kid) the computer is always right was a common sarcastic parody of all the people who actually believed it.
We'd discover in the 1980s it was possible to have missing data, insufficient data or erroneous data.
It's a sentiment at least as old as the first things that we now call computers.
As if humans can magically make correct decisions with incorrect information lmao. So true.
