OBG...yep...some amazing variations and interpretations of "automation's job". Some time ago I became aware of a diversion to the alternate because the Stadium Visual onto 31 at LGA "couldn't be programmed" in the FMC, (meaning neither of the two dogs up front watching TV were sufficiently confident to actually fly the A320). One derives very small satisfaction from the decision to divert instead of hand-flying.

Sigh.
