This is probably for fear that an employee will impose their own  
criteria while the machines are calibrated for 'best fit'. You might  
have an employee who prefers a blue cast one day and another who  
likes a warm look the next. Customers would get inconsistent results,  
things would slow down and there would be increased expense in  
materials. The whole basis of these corporations is to hire the dim  
at minimum wage and have them follow mechanical routines developed by  
those who know. Thinking about the job is dangerous.
Think Mcdonalds (or is that Macdonalds or mcDonalds or whatever?) -  
it doesn't matter if it's crap so long as it's always exactly the  
same crap. They don't want people who can cook - just those who can  
take the fries out when the bell rings.
