Advantages of automatic logging?

 At the moment, my logs contain, 5793 QSO's of which, 4417 are confirmed. That comes out a hair over a 76% confirmation rate.  How is that confirmation figure so high after only a couple of years on the air?  Simple enough; Automation.

The vast majority of my contacts are either SSB or FT*.  Allowing for the slop in the numbers created by the smattering of other modes in my log,  that makes it that there are about 4900 contacts logged in either FT8 or FT4, or about 870 SSB loggings. 

I could dive into these numbers further, but it's clear to me there's a decided advantage in the digital modes in terms of logging new countries. Which in turn, suggests that the tendency is to log/ and confirm SSB QSO's less.

I'll dive into this more as times allow.
