alt Hacker NewsNo, that's not how this works. You tell me why it can't or shouldn't be automated.
"Design an automated ATC system" isn't a valid answer to "Why can't ATC be automated?"

Er, I sort of do think that's how it works? The ultimate rebuttal to "you can't do X" is to actually do X. Until you do that I think that ultimately the burden of proof falls on you. It can be very easy to imagine certain tasks and systems can be automated - especially when you aren't actively involved in those tasks and systems and are unfamiliar with their intricacies.
