Why Pianists Will Not Be Replaced by Computers Anytime Soon

This is apparently true even if you don't know anything about piano sonatas: if a person plays a sonata for you, your central nervous system activates and you sweat a little. If a computer plays the same sonata, you do not react, and you don't sweat. Score one for humans.

No word on if this explains the showering tendencies of pianists. :)
