A strong chess player can point out obvious dangers to a chess program during the game. E.g. by discreetly adjusting the rest position of his mouse arrow during moves. Say the program grabbed a pawn and now desperately needs to consolidate instead of going for more material. Any 1800 player can judge that better than nowadays top programs. Manual operation opens a pandora box of disturbing unfairplay which the other program cannot defend against. It should e.g. be strictly forbidden to operate chess software with a mouse during important matches. On the other hand every program can trivially defend against abusing input from an autoplayer interface. No human interference, no cheating.
