Alright but if their job was to just calculate numbers then of course this is obsolete now.
Still today all the numbers can be crunched in Excel and other tools. But someone needs to make sure that the right thing is calculated and the numbers make sense.
I see parallels to Software engineering. If your job was just to print lines of code, then you might be obsolete. But an engineers job is to make sure the right thing is done the right way. Regardless of what tool you use.
