The World Cup reveals technology, intended for precision, often complicates human judgment and trust. Automation, aiming to eliminate bias, paradoxically degrades essential decision-making. Current "human-in-the-loop" systems are ineffective as people defer to machines.

Technology should *aid* our decisions, ensuring they remain solely ours to make, fostering confidence.
