I saw it the first time, thx. What I'm trying to say is automation is a vicious cycle.

Case in point, we cannot seem to convince people who have never used a manual transmission that it is more efficient. They cannot seem to escape the "I'm just supposed to mash the pedal" mindset now and believe whatever is most convenient.
