a Xilinx FPGA

algorithm.
Don't get me started on the Xilinx tools. Suffice it to say, I spent
enough time undoing the damage that they did to my designs. I hate
computers that think they can design better than I can. They are almost
always wrong ;-)

My point, exactly. It is clearly the case that automated mechanisms are
inferior to a quality human intelligence. For anyone to think otherwise
is to relegate decisions of life to a computer program. As we all know,
or should all know, artificial intelligence falls _way_ short of its lofty
goals.
