I do agree with its vital and useful work - to save us from being buried under an ever-replenished mountain of blatant fair-abuse, and remember I'm a BIG FAN of fair use on en:wp - but I certainly don't expect perfection from it. If you catch the bot making a lot of errors, a polite note to Betacommand would probably help all.
The assumption here is that a failure to be compliant with current tagging fads implies "blatant fair-abuse". It's very easy to go around tagging things as wrong based on some mechanical rationale, and much more difficult to apply human thought to fix these problems. If the bot were responsible enough to fix half as many as it identifies it would not leave the good editors feeling that they are fighting off a swarm of mosquitoes.
