It speeds things up greatly. Suppose you have two locations with the same name in different states and the incorrect one shows up. You can highlight everything after the last correct letter and type the next correct letter and have the entire field filled in correctly with a single keystroke. As has been mentioned, you must be paying attention to what you are doing. As with everything else in life, carelessness and inattention can result in errors. That is what taking personal responsibility is about. In the end, you are responsible for what you put in your database.
