Not only that but if we could operate FT8 in fully automated mode we
could let it slave away while we are called away to watch Downton Abbey
with SWMBO or in case we need to hit the rack early on a work night.
Would I do that? No, but I'll bet there will be loads of "operators" who
will.

I'll bet that if you had tried FT8 you would have worked them far more
easily and on more bands. That mode has an advantage of about 16 dB (40x
the power) over SSB, which is the most difficult way to work weak
signals. CW is about 10 dB better than SSB, FT8 is about 6 dB better
than CW with very good ops on both ends.
