With all due respect, I think you just made a strong case
*against* SCP. Stated another way, your reasoning could be
boiled down to "SCP allows my computer to compensate for my
lack of a skill that good operators have taken the time to
cultivate."
Sounds kinda cold, and I don't mean it as a slam against
anyone personally, but copying the exchange should be about
skill, not purchased memory.
