Do we really need human section in CASP9?

[guest500]

Is server prediction enough for CASP9? Is there addition information provided by human test? How useful is the human prediction on its own to the community?
I believe it is time to seriously consider these questions. Discussion is welcome.

An important question. Human section should run as many targets as servers.

I've found that the "human" section is useful for testing out new methods before building complete autonomous servers. It gives you more time to check methods, fix bugs etc.
