Unfortunately, no, it is not.

Each automation system removes some aspect of the pilot workload.

Exactly.


An
unavoidable consequence of this is that the pilot is also allowed to
lose awareness of the aspect that has been removed (if he were not,
there'd be no point in the automation).

As usual pure crap from you. Automation in aircraft gives me more
situational awareness not less.




Automation in the cockpits allows the pilot to MONITOR the systems ...


He could do that already, when he was flying the plane himself.

No, he had to manipulate the device. Now he can monitor very quickly
what is automated, freeing up more time to do other more important tasks.



And automation does not require monitoring; that's why it is called
automation.

It may not require it but that doesn't mean we don't. In aviation we
monitor lots of things that have been automated. This is basic. Pull
your head out of your ass.



And if it did require monitoring, it would serve no
purpose.

You're an idiot. This is a ridiculous statement.



The purpose of automation is to make things automatic--that
is, to remove the need for monitoring and intervention.

You're half right. It removes the need for intervention, not monitoring.
