Some people do not want to play a computer if $2000 is riding on the game. It still affects their score/final standing in the tournament. Which means computers have an effect on who gets the money even if the computers don't. It still comes down to money. Many players when they have a choice of tournaments will avoid the tournaments with computers. Jim Walker
