except if you transpose two digits, skip a digit or fat-finger it and
tap the wrong digit...

You have no more need to read or 'tap' in digits than you do to tap in a
URL when you can click it in.

The device sees all of the digits correctly, the device transmits all
the digits correctly; the human only helps (slightly) the device to do
that. The human doesn't need to read or understand or remember or type
even one number. Any time the human gets involved such as reading or
remembering or speaking or understanding some word or combination of
words, there is great and serious potential for error.
