Why we need automated reasoning systems

When I am woring on knowledge representation and reasoning, I keep asking myself a question: Why do we need automated reasoning systems?

I believe this is a strong enough case: 2009 Air France Flight 447, crashing into the Atlantic due to pilots' errors.

Human beings have many volunable "features." We panic when unfamiliar emergency happens. And this causes our brain no longer rational. Therefore, we need a rational assistant for that kinda cases.
