If you fly a plane manually, and a problem with control surfaces
develops and progresses, you'll find it more and more difficult to
fly. If you have an autopilot, you'll notice nothing until the
problems with the control surfaces reach a point that is beyond the
ability of the autopilot to compensate. Then you will spiral down
into the ground. Which failure mode do you prefer?

We're talking about engine controls here - not flight controls. Please
stick to the subject!
