I wouldn't want a computer to spit out a psak.
but I would like it to present the relvant factoids related to a p'sak

For example the Abudarham's point re: 10th of Teves has been rejected by the
BY.  That fact must be noted. It's not jsut that Rashi and Rambam ot
Abuarhma, it's that the BY sets it aside himself!

The various postings omitted this factoid, and are somehow rehabilitating
the Abudarham as something more than what apperas to be a patently rejected
da'as yachid.  A computer wouldn't do that.
