Once you start letting human intervention in any form (especially from non google staff) you are leaving the door open to corrupted serps.

I'll have to differ on that one. There will always be a small percentage of corruption taking place at some level, it is a given, it is human nature.

But, the algos sure as hell can't replace the human factor as is clearly evident in the SERPs today. ;)

And, how do we know that the algo isn't corrupt at some level?
