It's not so much that we don't want humans to resolve conflicts, but
rather, different humans will resolve conflicts in different ways,
which leads to divergence at different sites.  Human intervention is
not an option!

This is not an issue for the OT algorithms at all, but rather, it is
an issue of presentation of merged data to the user.  If you want to
see edits that fall close together, then your OT aware editor should
be able to present this to you and help you resolve any logical/
semantic conflicts that you perceive.
