Because you brought the thing up in post #36, like so: "Automation frees people for menial and mundane tasks, literally."
Truth is that computerisation frees people up from tasks that are not menial as well. In the past few years it has proven itself faster and more accurate in diagnosing some medical conditions, relegating some doctors to the role of mere technicians and freeing others from their jobs. There is an irony in that when viewed in comparison to your statement.
