at least with mechanical systems, the pilot knows they are error prone and usually has a bunch of cross-checks up his (or her!) sleeve.

When electronics are feeding you a dose of pork pies, the tendency is to assume everything's ok. Because the black box says it is, therefore it must be so! How many training organisations will elaborate the procedures for dealing with glass instrument failure?
