In all fairness, that is one of the strong use cases for computers in general. Doing simple yet tedious tasks accurately. When looking over 50 names checking for a particular letter, humans get bored and make mistakes. We actually aren't great at that sort of task. I think simply calling this ineptitude both misses the point and under appreciates the reality of being human.
Alas, it is easier to call someone dumb than to try to understand them.
